"It's something that you can play with, do quite a lot of analysis on, and at the end of the day, you're seeing what you're doing."

"We need to be able to identify images and prevent any changes in our forest, as well as bring out solutions quickly."

"Attending this workshop has opened us up to new prospects regarding the monitoring of land assets and vegetation in Cross River State. We're looking to partner with other sister agencies based on what we have learned.

We will use it to monitor land use, forest cover, and the impacts of agriculture."

"SEPAL has opened up my eyes to understanding land cover dynamics, so that this can inform the National Council on Climate Change on any information and data values for policymaking to help reverse climate change and deforestation in the country."

"This training on SEPAL has really been an eye- opener for us. By bringing in those new trends and geographic information systems, I believe it's going to go a long way in helping our NFMS (National Forest Monitoring System)."

"The SEPAL program has helped me understand how I to analyze changes in vegetation by mapping out vegetation cover in mangroves, rainforest, mountain, and other ecological zones".
