Imageries of Remote Sensing (RS) satellites provide data on the temporal and spatial status of natural resources. Repetitive coverage helps in understanding various changing physical processes in a particular area as also in monitoring closely, the changes taking place across different areas. The availability of data at different spatial resolutions (as coarse as 1 km or as fine as 1 m) provides the means of observing the land simultaneously at micro as well as macro levels.
FES used satellite imageries to assess the quantitative changes that have taken place in its project areas due to the interventions of the communities in the protection and conservation of their natural resources. A similar exercise was undertaken in 2003 using the satellite imageries of the project locations of both - before (1996/98) and after (2002) the project intervention period. The same analysis has been extended in this study using imageries of the year 2006. The results, though not 100% accurate,are fairly reliable.

Spread across diverse ecological and social geographies, FES works towards conservation of nature and natural resources through collective action of local communities. The crux of FES efforts lie in locating forests and other natural resources within the prevailing economic, social and ecological dynamics in rural landscapes.
