  1. Transparent Forest an ESA IAP project

  2. Background • Reliability of forest certification is too low, due to lack of independent data, large scale and remoteness of forests. • Transparency needs to be improved. • Certification burden is currently much bigger for small than for large forestry organizations. • FSC : world-wide 200 Mio ha certified forest. Boreal forest concessions showing annual removals (generated from multi-temporal ALOS PALSAR-1 data). Goals • Develop WebGIS environment , supporting the generation of customized maps for areas being certified. • Using Earth Observation and GNSS/SATCOM products to support certifiers and other stakeholders in decision-making. • Value of space assets • Earth Observation products and in situ data availability increases reliability, transparency and fairness. • Certification tools including the integration of Earth Observation and GNSS/SATCOM products streamlines the process. before 2007 2007 – 2008 2008 - 2009
