About IMAS
- Principal Investigator: M.B. Coughenour, Colorado State University
The GL-CRSP's IMAS Project, evolving later into the GL-CRSP POLECY Project, developed an integrated modeling and assessment system integrating computer-modeling geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and field studies to provide information and understanding necessary to conserve biodiversity, wildlife, and ecosystem integrity, while increasing pastoral food security. The system was applied to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania and Greater Amboseli Ecosystem in the Kajiado District in Kenya, and transmitted to use by policy makers throughout a number of NGOs and GOs in both countries, including Kenya Wildlife Service, the Tanzania National Parks, Tanzania Ministry of Agriculture, World Bank, and the African Wildlife Foundation.
