GFOI

The Global Forest Observations Initiative (GFOI) is set out to foster the sustained availability and use of satellite data for national forest monitoring systems to better manage forest

  • resources. It aims to support both country REDD+

implementation, as well as national forest monitoring needs in a broader sense. GFOI Components: * Coordination of Satellite Data accquisitions and provision * Development of Methods and Guidance Documentation * Research & Development * Capacity Building

GFOI Session Summary

Much commonality between GFOI and JICA interests: * Development of policy and institutional frameworks * R&D and demonstration activities * Development of Forest Monitoring Systems * Capacity Building Mutual interest to develop closer links where feasible. FFPRI publication: REDD+ Cookbook. Complementary to GFOI Methods and Guidance Documentation. JAXA currently sole provider of L-band SAR data – of particular interest for GFOI and forest countries. JAXA announced at GEO X Plenary

  • pen and free availability of annual SAR mosaic products from ALOS

and ALOS-2.

GFOI Session Summary

Common Priority R&D and Capacity Building topics: Standard methods for interoperable/complementary use

  • f different satellite data sources

(optical-optical / optical-radar / radar-radar / +hyperspectral) Exploitation of hyperspectral sensors such as e.g. RISING-2) (e.g. mangrove zoning, dissolved C in peat forest etc.) Training in the use of LIDAR (small UAV and ground based) for biomass measurements Methods for generation of cloud-free optical composite data Combined use of satellite, in situ and other data sources (e.g. DEMs) Accuracy analysis on sensor interoperability/complementarity

GFOI Session Summary

Common methodology development needs: General agreement of the co-benefits of development of NFMS: beyond only C reporting (e.g. biodiversity, early warning, etc.) Need for near-real time deforestation monitoring (early warning) systems as part of NFMS. Methodology development needs highlighted: Above-ground biomass (direct and via proxies) Forest degradation Shifting cultivation Development of standardised methods for mapping of specific forest/laund use classess: E.g. Peat swamp forests, mangroves, Melaleuca forests

GFOI Session Summary

Long-term sustainability: Concern how to assure long-term sustainability of country (forest monitoring) activities after the end of int'l collaboration projects

  • Training of trainers in the countries for long-term sustainability
  • Involvement of young people in collaboration project development
  • Importance of open and free of charge satellite data and open

source software (e.g. Q-GIS, RSGISLib, LETS-SAR).
