| Summary: | This briefing note presents some recent
developments in satellite-based earth observation (EO) and
how new and disruptive technology can improve understanding
on tropical dry forests. It focuses on tools and algorithms
developed by the Satellite Monitoring for Forest Management
(SMFM) project financed by the Global Environment Facility
(GEF) and implemented by the World Bank in 2017–2020. This
note summarizes the key aspects on using satellite data in
dry forest monitoring and its target audience is senior
forest managers, policy makers and other users of forest
data. For more technology focused audience, the SMFM project
also prepared a series of other documents: i) good practice
guidance – a guidance document for dry forest assessment
and monitoring; ii) validation compliance report; iii)
project implementation summary; and iv) working practice
document (manual) for each tool developed under the project. |
