SERVIR AMAZONIA: SERVIR is a joint initiative of USAID and NASA to help developing countries improve environmental management and resilience to climate change by strengthening the capacity of governments and other key stakeholders to integrate Earth observation information and geospatial technologies into development decision‐making. SERVIR Amazonia will be integrated into both the global SERVIR program and the Amazon‐targeted USAID Amazon Regional Environment Program. The overall goal of the Amazon Regional Environment Program is to reduce the negative impacts on Amazon forest and water resources by large‐scale infrastructure projects, extractive activities, and the effects of climate change. In this context, the goal of SERVIR Amazonia is to reduce these and other negative impacts through increased application of geospatial analysis for improved planning and decision‐making. SERVIR Amazonia will have a thematic focus around hydro‐meteorological management decision support, with specific themes of drought and fire risk, water resources and hydro‐climatic events, ecosystems management, and weather and climate.
