Ending Tropical Deforestation: Tropical Forest Monitoring: Exploring the Gaps Between What is Required and What is Possible for REDD+ and Other Initiatives

The document discusses the increasing demand for credible forest monitoring data to meet international and national goals for climate change and conservation, noting a gap between research capabilities and practical application in tropical forest countries.

• Meeting international and national commitments for sustainable development, climate change, and forest management depends on the availability of reliable, accurate, and credible monitoring of carbon stocks and forest extent.
• While satellite data and remote sensing technologies now allow for the consistent and efficient monitoring of forest characteristics and changes across large areas, a gap exists between research demonstrations and the actual application and maintenance of these systems within tropical forest countries.
• The increase in demands for forest information and the resulting variety of monitoring systems may lead to redundancy and confusion.
