A good map is the one that ends up being used

D&D. Deforestation and Forest Degradation

Making the case for Forest Carbon Stocks FinanceSept 6-8 2017, Woking, UK
• In light of 1.5 Deg report emphasis on CCS
• Existing protected areas• Remote forests without detectable
human presence• Areas listed for “production” but not
yet touched• Indigenous/traditional management
areas that maintain ecological integrity
• Areas with little historical anthropogenic disturbance that could be restored to “natural” forests
Deforestation Risk Modeling Outputs

41% of countries included Forests as part of their NDC’s

Great that a change product is coming out!!!

Spatial patterns of forest k [yr1] as the ratio of NPP to biomass based on satellite data (Obs mean; using an average of MODIS and BETHY/DLR NPP products and observation-based biomass from Thurner et al. 2014)

The need for integrated systems
• Change detection• Emission Factors• The opportunistic use of plot
data• NFI and AD not linked• Improper sampling and plot
design• No-RS based regeneration
![Page 16: Monitoring Needs for Forest Conservation](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071423/62cf517be63e902ba3149579/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Attribution• Incorporating new RS data• Incorporating new context information (e.g. Validation)
• FRA vs RS data = LC vs LU.• Linking PMRV and NMRV
• Attribution of Change to Drivers (later)• Enhancing the RS data processing• Even generate data relevant to the commodities themselves.
• Estimate yields• Locate sources• Assess compliance with initiatives like Walmart Gigaton, NY Declaration
Perhaps the need for a behavioral change…….
The need for land based and remote observation to be integral part of the system rather than an opportunistic relation? E.g. WWF For local dataThe need for more attention given to the Reference Data.

Lets get ready and do it?
• Lessons learned and transfer to Sentinel 1?• The need for a broader user base (As in ALOS meeting report from
Chris)• Get ready for the upcoming missions for full use!• NASA-Servir SAR Manual?
• Capacity building for users• Communications strategy as integral part of workload
