NDVI – Based Ecological Dynamics of Vegetation and Its Relationship to Climate Change of Osun Osogbo Sacred Grove


World Heritage Site: Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove

Publication Year: 2022

Publication Type: Conference paper

Publication Identifier: WHE9080C59792

Summary

A study analyzing the Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove reveals significant ecological dynamics in its vegetation, closely tied to climate change impacts. Using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data, researchers identified patterns of vegetation health and density that correlate with climatic variations. The findings underscore the grove's vulnerability to environmental shifts, particularly in a UNESCO World Heritage Site facing increasing pressure from human activities and changing weather conditions. This research contributes to ongoing efforts to integrate contemporary conservation strategies into sustainable development goals, offering insights for preserving biodiversity while addressing climate-related challenges.
