“…Notably, they are unable to show factors responsible for forest degradation, help prediction of forest degradation (assuming a business‐as‐usual scenario), and most importantly, assess loss of ecosystem function over space and time. Planning and efficient management of meagre natural resources requires up ‐ to ‐ date data, therefore, availability of existing forest resources and potential loss in relation to refugee migration is expected to provide crucial information to managers and policymakers (Bjørgo, 1999; Bouchardy, 1995; Morales‐Hidalgo, Oswalt, & Somanathan, 2015; Romijn et al, 2015). Our work attempts to answer two research questions: (i) What is the extent of forest degradation in the environmentally sensitive Cox's Bazar – Teknaf Peninsula in response to Rohingya influx?…”

“…International relief organizations working globally and supporting people in need sometimes have only very limited knowledge of the prevailing circumstances in the countries and landscapes they are operating in. Thus, geographic information is one of the key factors that need to be assessed for effective humanitarian relief operations (Bouchardy 1995;Bjorgo 1999;UNHCR 2000). Especially in remote areas or regions where geospatial information and detailed map material tends to be inaccurate or even fails to exist, satellite imagery may provide objective and up-to-date information about a given area and thus complement the information about the on-ground situation, which is usually collected by field missions (Bouchardy 1995).…”

“…Notably, they are unable to show factors accountable for forest degradation, prediction of forest degradation (assuming business-as-usual scenario), and most importantly, loss of ecosystem function over space and time. Planning and efficient management of meagre natural resources requires up-to-date data, therefore, availability of existing forest resources and potential loss in relation to refugee migration is expected to provide crucial information to managers and policymakers (Morales-Hidalgo, 2015; Romijn et al, 2015;Bouchardy, 1995;Bjørgo, 1999). This work, thus, attempts to answer two research questions: (i) what is the extent of forest degradation in environmentally sensitive Cox's Bazar-Teknaf peninsula in response to Rohingya influx; and (ii) what is (would) be the degree of ecosystem function loss, at present and in the future, under multiple stressors and stimulus, if Rohingya issue persists.…”
