1 Support to the Global Forest Resource Assessment process Organisations: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) + European Commission - Joint Research Centre (JRC) Objectives: Improved estimates of forest cover change at regional / global level Harmonized forest assessment, monitoring & reporting systems in place Reduction in the current rate of deforestation Increase in the area of forest under sustainable forest management Increase on the area of forest in protected area systems Reduction in the current rate of loss of carbon stocks in forests Main target group: Multi-stakeholder Main area of work: Independent Forest Monitoring Location: Global / Regional Main local partners: National participants in > 100 countries globally Dates of implementation: 2009 to 2012 Budget : € 3,1 Million to FAO (EC portion only) + € 500,000 to JRC Funding partners: Australia, FAO, Finland, France, ITTO, JRC

2 This project supports the FLEGT process by: Providing a global & regional analysis of forest cover & land-use change from 1990-2000-2005 (- for Tropics continued by JRC to 2010) Building remote sensing capacity for future FLEGT-related analysis Allowing better understanding of the differences in area of forest land cover and forest land use Providing a systematic basis for comparisons with global (FRA) and various regional estimates of forest change

3 What needs to be done to make the contribution stronger? Use of finer-resolution remote sensing data to allow more detailed analysis of land-use transitions and of the nature of selective harvesting Exploration of new methods to improve large-scale assessment of logging and forest degradation Continuing support to allow additional analysis of future dates and ground-based assessment

4 Sampling scheme for the Tropics 1990-2000-2010 Systematic sample based on 1° x 1° lat-long confluence points

5 Sample Unit - Size 10 km x 10 km 19902000 Forest Conversion to Oil Palm in N-Kalimantan (N04 E117) 2010

6 Logging: Eastern Kalimantan (N00 E115) 1990-2000 10km

7 TREES-3 results for the Tropics: Annual gross forest cover loss 1990-2000 within sample units
