  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Policy makers, managers, scientists and the public can view the changing environment using satellite images.&amp;nbsp; More than 60 Earth observing satellites are collecting images of the Earth's surface. Remote sensing satellite systems for land cover assessment are operated by a growing number of countries including India, the United States, Japan, France, Canada and Russia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The focus of this publication is satellite systems for land cover monitoring. On the reverse is a table that compares a selection of these systems, whose data are globally available in a form suitable for land cover analysis. We hope the information presented will help you assess the utility of remotely sensed image to meet your needs.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
