    Evaluation report
    Evaluation of the project "Strengthening National Forest Inventory and Satellite Land Monitoring System in Support of REDD+ in Bangladesh"
    Project code: GCP/BGD/058/USA
    2023

    The evaluation of “Strengthening National Forest Inventory and Satellite Land Monitoring System in support of REDD+ in Bangladesh”, funded by the United States, concluded that the new Bangladesh Forest Inventory and Satellite Land Monitoring System developed under this project will greatly improve the consistency and standing of reporting by Bangladesh, including those for forest resources assessment, SDGs and REDD+. The methodologies developed under the project were of a very high standard and greatly improved the monitoring and reporting by the Bangladesh Forest Department and Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. The Land Cover Classification System is impressive, transforming how land cover mapping will be accomplished in Bangladesh and how results will be comparable across many applications. The evaluation is recommending FAO to pursue the dissemination of knowledge and exert influence over the use of the results in forest management programmes and policies. FAO should identify potential forest "hotspot" areas for action and start planning the support to the next National Forest Inventory.

    Status of the World's Soil Resources: Main Report 2015
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The SWSR is a reference document on the status of global soil resources that provides regional assessments of soil change. The information is based on peer-reviewed scientific literature, complemented with expert knowledge and project outputs. It provides a description and a ranking of ten major soil threats that endanger ecosystem functions, goods and services globally and in each region separately. Additionally, it describes direct and indirect pressures on soils and ways and means to combat s oil degradation. The report contains a Synthesis report for policy makers that summarizes its findings, conclusions and recommendations.

    The full report has been divided into sections and individual chapters for ease of downloading:

    Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020
    Main report
    2020
    Also available in:
    FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. At that time, its major objective was to collect information on available timber supply to satisfy post-war reconstruction demand. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2020, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The production of FRA 2020 also involved collaboration among many partner organizations, thereby reducing the reporting burden on countries, increasing synergies among reporting processes, and improving data consistency. The results of FRA 2020 are available in several formats, including this report and an online database containing the original inputs of countries and territories as well as desk studies and regional and global analyses prepared by FAO. I invite you to use these materials to support our common journey towards a more sustainable future with forests.
