2024 FOREST DECLARATION ASSESSMENT

The document details restoration monitoring efforts across four countries. In Brazil, the Brazilian Restoration and Reforestation Observatory (BRRO) tracks progress toward climate agreements using a multi-stakeholder platform and satellite data. Kenya has developed a monitoring framework with 30 indicators integrated into its 2024 National Ecosystem and Landscape Restoration Strategy. Burkina Faso utilizes the ONEDD platform for centralized data sharing among government and NGO partners. Vietnam employs the FORMIS system for forest status monitoring, though it faces challenges with data accessibility and consistency.

• The Brazilian Restoration and Reforestation Observatory (BRRO), established in 2021, monitors Brazil's progress toward international and national climate agreements, including the Paris Agreement, the Bonn Challenge, and PLANAVEG.
• Between 2021 and 2024, the BRRO recorded an increase in restoration areas from 79,000 hectares to 150,000 hectares, with the planting of seedlings being the most common technique, covering approximately 45,000 hectares.
• Restoration efforts in Brazil are heavily concentrated in the Amazon and Atlantic Forest, while the Caatinga, Cerrado, Pampa, and Pantanal biomes are relatively neglected.
• Kenya has implemented a forest and landscape restoration monitoring framework featuring 30 indicators and 45 sub-indicators, which has been incorporated into the 2024 National Ecosystem and Landscape Restoration Strategy.
• Burkina Faso avoids duplicating monitoring platforms by relying on the existing ONEDD platform, which is chaired by the office of the Environment and Sustainable Development and uses data-sharing agreements with a network of partner organizations.
• Vietnam uses the FORMIS system for nationwide forest status monitoring, but the system is hindered by limited data accessibility, gaps in hard-to-reach forest areas, and discrepancies between paper records and reality.
