WOCAT Mapping methodology Introduction WOCAT Secretariat, Centre for Development and Environment, University of Bern

Background Overview of where land degradation takes place at what intensity and how land users are addressing this problem through Sustainable Land Management (SLM) Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands (LADA), WOCAT and DESIRE projects have streamlined methods to map and document Land degradation (LD) and land improvement QM Ultimate goal: to obtain a picture of the distribution and characteristics of LD and SLM activities at a given scale.

Degradation & Conservation Map WOCAT questionnaires Framework for documentation, evaluation, dissemination of good SLM practices SLM Technologies & SLM Approaches Local / field level (Case studies) Degradation & Conservation Map Local, national, global scale independent (overview)

Mapping questionnaire & database LADA

Why mapping? Starting degradation with strong degradation trend? SLM applied Worst degradation? What is the impact? Graph: H.P. Liniger

Mapping: Land Degradation/Conservation & impacts Few maps about land degradation No maps about SLM! …and LD/SLM impacts!?  Where to invest? Hot spots Bright spots SLM

Framework

Land degradation Not only soil erosion Types: Soil erosion by water Soil erosion by wind Water degradation Physical soil deterioration Biological degradation Chemical degradation….

The QM does not provide a single output Examples The QM does not provide a single output It depends on the needs and goals of the government/organisations. E.g. Maps showing hot spots of degradation and green/bright spots where good land management is taking place Maps for the most prominent LD types Maps showing conservation

Where are the hotspots or priority areas for intervention? High DI values Low CI values L. Lindeque

Comparison Degradation vs conservation Burundi – chemical degradation Land degradation severity Effectiveness of existing SLM SLM have low effectiveness and are not present in certain severely degraded areas Weighted (Extent * degree * rate[normalized]) M. Petri
