 | Déploiement du PNUE sur le terrain après le désastre (2005-05)
In the immediate aftermath of the tsunami, on 28 December, UNEP Executive Director Klaus Toepfer created the Asian Tsunami Disaster Task Force, which was charged with responsability for assisting governments to assess and respond to the environmental impacts of the tsunami.
In response to requests from governments, UNEP immediately deployed experts to Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand an the Maldives, and later to the Seychelles and Yemen.
These teams have remained in the region to conduct and facilitate rapid assessments and help coordinate environmental recovery programmes in partnership with national authorities, UN colleagues and the international community. |

 | Case study: sustainable wood supplies for reconstruction in Aceh (2005-03)
Reconstruction and the rebuilding of communities will create considerable demand for timber. The projected demand is estimated at between 4 and 8 million cubic metres of logs. If this was to be supplied from local sources it would mean logging between 125,000 and 250,000 hectares of forest. |

 | Impact on aquaculture (2005-02)
These images show a close-up view of the northern coastal area of case study 1. Features include a swampy coastal strip of land which has largely been converted to tambak. Part of the inland estuary is covered in Rhizophora mangroves, which are important spawning and nursery grounds for the milkfish and prawns traditionally raised in the tambak ponds. Further tambak ponds are located inland on the estuarine system. The post-tsunami image shows the devastating effect of the tsunami on the low-lying lands. The force of the water is able to travel up estuarine systems, often up to 6 kilometres inland. The western strip of coastal sandbar has been completely removed and tambak ponds destroyed, along with the majority of the mangroves. Clearly, a vast volume of material was carried out into the ocean. Devastating effects on housing infrastructure are also evident. |

 | Overall damage to ecosystems in Sumatra (2005-02)
These images show a combination of a rocky, hilly headland along with a small river delta and swampy coastal strip. A low-lying wetland area connects the northern and western ocean fronts. An integration of natural and agricultural ecosystems operating prior to the tsunami combined rice cultivation, and fish/shrimp ponds (tambak), alongside natural delta mangrove forests and wetlands. Coastal forests and onshore reefs are also present. The effect of the tsunami is clearly evident. It scoured out the low lying delta land, destroyed fish ponds and removed mangrove cover. Volumes of soil and silt have evidently been carried out to sea expanding the area of the small lake by a factor of approximately 10. There has been removal of the sandy beaches (important in some locations for turtle nesting) and deposition of silt or mud on the reef. Apparently minor effects on the integrity of the rocky vegetated shoreline surrounding the headland are likely due to the resilient nature of the substrata, as well as dense natural vegetation cover and the sloping nature of the shore. |

 | Sri Lanka Killed and Missing per Province (2005-02)
In Sri Lanka, between 31 000 and 37 000 people were killed by drowning or debris impact, and nearly 100 000 houses were destroyed, along with tens of thousands of vehicles and much infrastructure. This map is part of the first results of an ongoing collaboration between GRID-Europe and the World Health Organisation (WHO) Public Health Mapping and GIS Group as part of UNEP/WHO Health and Environment Linkages. |

 | Thailand Killed and Missing per Province (2005-02)
As of 8 February 2005, the Royal Thai government casualty estimates were reported at 5 393 dead, 8 457 injured and 3 062 missing. This map is part of the first results of an ongoing collaboration between GRID-Europe and the World Health Organisation (WHO) Public Health Mapping and GIS Group as part of UNEP/WHO Health and Environment Linkages. |

 | Tsunami general situation within Indian Ocean basin (2005-01)
Propagation of tsunami through time: The red color means that the water surface is higher than normal, while the blue means lower. It indicates that initial tsunami to the east (e.g., Phuket) began with receding wave, while to the west (e.g., Sri Lanka) large wave suddenly reached. The darker the color, the larger the amplitude. The tsunamis were larger in the east and west directions. |

 | Flooded Areas and Ravaged Shores in Nicobar Islands (2005-01)
In this post event false colors image from SSTL, one can see the impacts from both earthquakes and Tsunami. Shores have been heavily impacted, significant areas are still flooded. The impacts have been assessed using archives images from Landsat 7 ETM+.
Sensors: SSTL, band 1, 2, 3

 | Flooded Areas in Banda Aceh (2005-01)
In this post disaster false color image, one can see the flooded areas (hatched surfaces), the vegetation appears in red, whereas the plumes of turbidity from the water returning to the sea is heavily loaded in sediments and appears in cyan.
Dates of aquisition: 30 December 2004

 | Waste issues (2004-10)
The region has several locations that can qualify as “hotspot” in terms of industrial activity with negative impact on the environment and public health, mostly linked to mining and metallurgic operations, but also to oil and gas extraction. |
|
 | Water issues (2004-10)
The tensions related to the management of the water flow from the Toktogul reservoir have strained the relations between Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan to the point that Kyrgyz troops were deployed in summer 2000 and 2001 (drought years) in order to protect the reservoir and the water release operations. On the other hand, the constant involvement of interstate bodies, multilateral organisation, international financial organisations and key regional actors is a guarantee that enough pressure and resources are dedicated to find peaceful solutions among the five Central Asian states. |
|
 | Land Issues and Problem Areas (2004-10)
One of the first questions when dealing with land in the Ferghana basin is the issue of land availability. Because of geographic and historical conditions, the Central Asian capitals, the Ferghana valley, the irrigated areas of Khatlon and Sogd (South and North Tajikistan), the areas along the Zeravshan river (Samarkand and Bukhara) in Uzbekistan show very high population densities. |

 | Parc National de Band-e-Amir (2003-01)
Band-e-Amir est une composante centrale de la statégie de tourisme de l'ATO pour que la population locale puisse bénéficier du tourisme dans le parc. Band-e-Amir est aussi reconnu comme un lieu contenant une combinaison unique d'éléments qui permettent de remplir les critères formels d'acceptation pour en faire un site naturel d'héritage mondial UNESCO. Puisque les autorités de transition ont l'intention de commencer à zéro avec des textes législatifs, il existe la possibilité d'instituer Band-e-Amir comme un parc national avec une législation qui reflète les meilleures pratiques actuelles dans la gestion de parcs tout en reconnaissant et en combinant la tradition historique et les besoins locaux. |

 | Les zones protégées existantes et proposées en Afghanistan (2003-01)
UNEP aimed to gather information from the designated protected areas in the east-centre of the country, including Band-e-Amir, Ab-i-Estada, Dasht-e-Nawar and Kole Hashmat Khan. The tugai forest islands of Imam Sahib were also observed from the banks of the Amu Darya. Other sections of this report also detail findings from assessments to the Pamir-e-Buzurg Wildlife Reserve and the proposed Hamoun-i-Puzak Waterfowl Sanctuary. Besides making an assessment of the status of these sites, particularly with regard to the effects of conflict and drought, a principal objective was to identify options for future management, seeking to support the twin goals of local development and maintenance of biodiversity. The Ajar Valley Wildlife Reserve and potential forested sites in Nuristan could not be accessed because of recent local disorder. |

 | Sites visités par UNEP (2003-01)
En septembre 2002, une mission du PNUE de un mois comprenant 20 scientifiques et experts afghans et internationaux a visité 38 sites urbains dans quatre villes et 35 différents lieux ruraux.
Durant le travail de terrain du PNUE, un total de 60 échantillons ont été prélevés pour tester l'air, le sol et l'eau ainsi que les niveaux de contamination chimique. Les analyses satellite à la pointe du progrès se sont révélées être un outil d'une valeur inestimable, notamment dans les zones non accessibles à cause des contraintes sécuritaires. |
