Ground based photo-monitoring (GBPM) is a method of documenting and assessing visual changes in landscapes over time by repeatedly taking photographs from the same location. This tool consists of a step-by-step guide on the GBPM methodology as well as how to design and implement a GBPM survey.
When tied to an analytic framework, GBPM becomes a useful monitoring tool for documenting land use and ecological change stemming from sustainable land management and other multi-stakeholder interventions. The availability of affordable cameras makes GBPM a cost-effective way to document and share landscape change in a way people understand.
