DocumentFRA 2000 - Pan-tropical survey of forest cover changes 1980-2000 - Results and findings 2002
Also available in:
No results found.The results from the FRA 2000 Remote Sensing Survey cover most of pan-tropical forests under a wide range of ecological conditions, from tropical rainforests to dry forests. Estimates were calculated at different levels: at sampling unit, stratum, sub-regional, regional, pan-tropical levels and at ecological zones level. The reliability of the estimates differs according to the study level. The survey was mainly designed for generating information with an acceptable statistical precision at the regional and pan-tropical levels. Estimates at the subregional level have a relatively low precision but give valuable indications on forest changes processes. -
DocumentForest assessment and monitoring 2002The Global Forest Resources Assessment 2000 (FRA 2000) is now completed, but work has already begun on the next global assessment. The expert consultation "Global Forest Resources Assessments - Linking National and International Efforts", known as Kotka IV, brought together international experts in July 2002 to address future concepts and strategies. The articles in this issue of Unasylva are adapted for a wider audience from papers prepared for the meeting. Without going into technical detail, they explore links among assessment and monitoring, national and international information needs, criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management, and reporting of forest-related information to international instruments. The technical details can be found on the FAO Web site (www.fao.org/forestry) and will be published in the Kotka IV proceedings.
