Analyse par Télédétection de la dynamique des formations végétales 2002-2022 dans le Sud du Parc national de la Comoé (Nord-Est de la Côte d’Ivoire)

A study analyzing vegetation dynamics in the southern part of Comoé National Park, Côte d’Ivoire, using LANDSAT satellite imagery from 2002 to 2022, reveals two contrasting phases: a period of decline (2002–2012) marked by a 51% reduction in dense forests and accelerated savannization, followed by notable recovery post-2012 with wooded savannas expanding by 29%. Despite resilience, habitat fragmentation and persistent anthropogenic pressures persist, necessitating integrated management strategies such as ecological corridor restoration to ensure long-term biodiversity conservation. The research validates these findings using a robust methodology (Kappa > 0.77) and highlights the interplay of natural and human factors in shaping the park's landscape.
