FAO DLIS is making great efforts in improving the reliability and usability of SPOT-VGT imagery to help identify potential areas of green vegetation throughout the Desert Locust recession area on an operational basis (every ten days). To assist with this work, locust-affected countries are requested to collect a small amount of additional information during field surveys. This data should be recorded on special forms and sent to FAO DLIS. Updated: April 2003.
