Alternative Natural Resource Monitoring Strategies in the Mexican States of Jalisco and Colima

Abstract

This paper presents a strategy for inventorying and monitoring the natural resources in the Mexican states of Jalisco and Colima. The strategy emphasizes a strong linkage between remote sensing with field sampling design to produce statistical summaries and spatial estimates at multiple scales and resolution levels. Outputs derived from this strategy are expected to have significant local use where policy and management decisions are most effectively made.
