DocumentChile Case Study: Prepared for FAO as part of the State of the World’s Forests 2016 (SOFO) 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Chile is considered a high-income developing country. For its nearly 18 million people life quality, economic growth, human development, globalization and per capita GDP are among the highest in Latin America. The forest area, including indigenous forest and plantation forest has been increasing by 18,5 % between 1997 and 2014, reaching 15,9 million hectares representing 21 % of Chile total area (75,7 milliones ha). Today’s forest economy is based on private plantations that grew in 17 years from 1,9 million hectares to 2,4 million hectares (INFOR, 2003 y 20141, 20142). An important part of native forests is represented in the State National System of Protected Areas and is administered by CONAF3, with 36 National Parks, 49 National Reserves and 15 Natural Monuments. Over the past 25 years they have established native forest private reserves. About 2/3 of native forest belongs to privates and the rest to the state.Read the full report of the State of the World’s Forests (SOFO) 2016

Book (stand-alone)Integrating forest and landscape restoration into national forest monitoring systems 2021
Also available in:
This document, based on the Voluntary Guidelines on national forest monitoring (VGNFM), provides a series of good practices organised into sixteen steps to facilitate the integration of the monitoring process to officers responsible for forest and landscape restoration (FLR) and the national forest monitoring system (NFMS). An inter-institutional work is proposed with key stakeholders to discuss the new information needs according to the approach and modalities of FLR implementation. Based on these needs, indicators, metrics, and monitoring attributes are organised. -
ProjectInnovative Approaches to High Integrity National Forest Monitoring Systems Enabling Access to Climate Finance - GCP/GLO/1035/UK-F 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Countries around the world, including Kenya, are improving their national forest monitoring systems (NFMS) in response to the growing global demand for high integrity carbon credits. This demand is demonstrated by initiatives like the Lowering Emissions by Accelerating Forest finance (LEAF) Coalition, which commits to purchasing emission reductions. In order to sell carbon credits to LEAF, countries need to have reliable forest data that meets new carbon standards. The availability of this data is crucial for accessing carbon finance, which in turn supports efforts to address climate change and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in line with the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (REDD+) approach. In response to this, the IMPRESS project aimed to create a globally applicable method for forest monitoring. Focusing initially on Kenya as a pilot case, its aim was to establish robust forest monitoring systems, enabling participation in Architecture for REDD+ Transactions (ART) REDD+ Environmental Excellence Standard (TREES) and LEAF.
