Gabon is right in the heart of the "Congo Bassin", the second largest pristine rainforest ecosystem in the world. Second to the Amazonia. It is litterally the second lung of the planet. Hence a national question: How to lead the greening/re-energetization of Africa and potentially the World while preserving this unique asset?
One of the aims of the recently established Gabonese Space agency (AGEOS) is the development of a regional centre for the acquisition and analysis of satellite data to monitor the entire "Congo Bassin".
The systematic coupling of astronomy & space science campaigns with initiatives aiming at the preservation of our unique "Congo Bassin" provides the vivifying dream(s) as well as the much needed drive towards more jobs for Africans. Please, share your thoughts and suggestions.
