No results found.FAO Forest Resource Assessment (FRA) 2020 report, estimates 35 million ha of bamboo resources. Of the 132 countries that reported on bamboo, only 23, or 17%, indicated that they had bamboo resources. In 2020, fewer countries reported on bamboo coverage than in 2010, when 33 countries provided statistics. Importantly, out of the 7 countries supported by INBAR for assessment of bamboo resources during 2013-2018, only one country used the data for report, four countries did not report on bamboo resources and two countries provided outdated data. This indicates lacks of coordination among assessment and reporting agencies. INBAR has developed methodology for bamboo forest resource assessment (resource mapping; bamboo stock and carbon assessment) and on-farm bamboo resource. Furthermore, INBAR trained and supported its member states and wish to improve bamboo resource report in FAO FRA. This poster will showcase the global bamboo forest coverage, assessment methodologies, discuss challenges and opportunities for improving the bamboo component in FRA reports.
