“…In the Indian context, researchers and scientists have recognized the potential of proximal remote sensing and have undertaken numerous studies to explore its applications and benefits. For instance, in precision agriculture, proximal remote sensing techniques have been used to monitor crop growth, detect plant diseases, assess nutrient deficiencies, and optimize irrigation practices [5]. By capturing detailed information about the spatial and temporal variations within fields, proximal remote sensing helps farmers make targeted interventions, reducing input costs and improving crop yield [6].…”

Proximal remote sensing is a cutting-edge technology that has emerged as a powerful tool in precision agriculture and environmental monitoring. By capturing high-resolution data from a close range, it provides valuable insights into crop health, soil conditions, and ecosystem dynamics. This paper explores the applications, advantages, and limitations of proximal remote sensing, focusing on its use in precision agriculture and environmental management. The applications of proximal remote sensing in precision agriculture include crop monitoring, disease detection, and resource optimization. In environmental management, it aids in habitat mapping, biodiversity assessment, and environmental impact analysis. The advantages of proximal remote sensing lie in its high spatial resolution, real-time data acquisition, and flexibility in sensor selection. However, limitations such as limited coverage area and skill requirements need to be considered. The future perspectives of proximal remote sensing encompass advancements in sensor technology, automation, integration with other technologies, and enhanced data storage and analysis. By leveraging these advancements, proximal remote sensing can contribute to more sustainable practices and informed decision-making for a better and resilient future.

“…Another group makes empirical judgments regarding human contribution to vegetation and biodiversity loss. Factors viewed as culprits by this camp include fire control, fuel wood collection, overgrazing, trampling, and the expansion of agriculture (Sharma et al, 1989;Moleele et al, 2001;Thiam, 2003;Javzandulam et al, 2005;Twumasi and Merem, 2007). Not all agree, however in the inevitable loss of biodiversity when local populations modify land cover.…”

West African pastoral groups (Arab, Tuareg, Toubou, and Fulani) experience contests both within their society, and, with outside agents regarding state integration, land use and development. Pastoral leadership, neighboring sedentary groups, national governments, multinational corporations, aid organizations, and academia all influence the paths pastoralists take in their relationship with the environment, the markets they return to, the animals the shepherd, and the non-pastoral opportunities they pursue, to name a few. The social relations that exist between pastoralists and outsiders can essentially coalesce or break apart pastoral society, depending on the actions taken by the various actors mentioned. The outcomes of pastoral fragmentation have various consequences on the region"s ecology, economy and security. The conflicts that fragment pastoralists and the actions they take to reconfigure their society are the central themes of this dissertation. The interplay between climatic crises, the increasing imposition of external controls, and a constant shrinking of a disputed commons brings pastoralists into conflict with outsiders and, with each other. The first part of this dissertation outlines, from colonial times to present, the relations pastoral groups have experienced with colonial powers, African independence leaders, aid workers, and now Western militaries and terrorists. The second part looks within Arab, Tuareg, Toubou, and Fulani society to understand the fluidity in which pastoralists move back and forth between herding and non-herding activities to maintain social cohesion and identity as pastoralists. The final part is an exploratory remote sensing investigation of the customary pastures of the Tuareg groups in northeastern Mali. Observations in this vegetation change detection study indicate a spatial differentiation between resources near the Niger River and those in more remote, drier regions of the study area. The changing relations of outside actors, the strategies taken by pastoralists to maintain their identity, and the changing dynamics of natural resources sometimes subtly, other times dramatically, fragments pastoral society. Yet, pastoralists continue to reconfigure, rebound and maintain resilience despite the changes among and, around them. iii DEDICATION This work is dedicated to the nomadic and sedentary communities of Iferouāne, Assodé, Gougaram, Tîmia, Aguelal, Nguigmi, Ngourti, Agadem, and others in the northern and eastern regions of Niger who I met but was not allowed to interview because of the 2007-2009 Rebellion. Your stories, though unheard for the moment, are worth telling and will be sought out by other researchers and myself when the situation resolves. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the local Arab and Kel Tamasheq (Tuareg) communities of Gao and Ménaka, Mali for their willingness to share their challenges and hospitality bestowed to me during my visits in 2006-2008. Financial support comes from the National Science Foundation"s DDRI grant (No. 0622892). Othe...
