As a matter of fact, PAP\/RAC and FAO AGL Department have a long history of successful co-operation. In the late &#8217;90s, two Guidelines were jointly prepared, namely the Guidelines for mapping and measurement of rainfall-induced erosion processes in the Mediterranean coastal areas and the Guidelines for erosion and desertification control management. In addition to the latter, a Photo-library on soil erosion processes, as a pictorial annex was published in 2002. In this way, a full set of the most needed methodological tools was developed, which are being used by soil erosion practitioners and other users. This new web site can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fao.org\/landandwater\/agll\/photolib\/index_e.htm\">http:\/\/www.fao.org\/landandwater\/agll\/photolib\/index_e.htm<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The mapping methodology is applicable not only for rainfall-induced erosion processes as initially stated, but considers also wind erosion and other degradation processes induced by incorrect land-use practices and management; similarly, the flexibility, adaptability and versatility of the mapping criteria and methods might be likely to be applied in other regions of the world. The Photo-library is trilingual (English, French and Spanish), whereas both Guidelines are not (yet) available in Spanish.<\/p>\n<p>PAP\/RAC is currently conducting several projects where these guidelines are applied, such as in the Maghreb countries (Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria), as well as in Syria and Lebanon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-4425","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paprac.org\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/4425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paprac.org\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paprac.org\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paprac.org\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
