Tracking Tree Cover: Using Global Forest Watch Datasets for Restoration
November 09, 2023
The emergence of Earth observation data has improved the ability to map tree cover and inform a better understanding of the global distribution of trees. Global Forest Watch (GFW) hosts a variety of data sets that can be used for monitoring trees, but why do they matter? How can they be used for specific applications? This webinar will introduce newly released datasets that can be used for the purposes of tracking restoration efforts. The datasets featured in this session include the University of Maryland’s Global Land Analysis and Discovery laboratory (GLAD) tree cover gain and net change data, as well as Land and Carbon Lab’s recently updated Tropical Tree Cover data (formerly called Trees in Mosaic Landscapes).
The Tropical Tree Cover data set maps tree cover across the tropics and can provide useful insights for those interested in monitoring trees in non-forested areas, especially in drylands, urban areas and on cropland, as well as at small spatial (local) scales.
The GLAD Lab’s tree cover gain and net change data sets, which are based on tree height information, are useful for understanding how the world’s total forest area –both gain and loss—has fluctuated over the past 20 years. This data can provide insights into national- and global-scale deforestation and restoration targets.
Please join us for a webinar on November 9 at 9:30 AM EST on the TTC data on GFW along with an introduction to the tree cover gain, & net change data. We will share insights that users can gather from these data sets for restoration monitoring, including user presentations on the applications of these data sets data driven policy impacts.
Simultaneous translations for the webinar will be provided in Spanish, French and Portuguese.

Context
4. Context
• Panama is advancing in the development of a National Forest
Monitoring System (SNMB).
• The SNMB was defined as a multipurpose system that provides key
information for REDD + and for the monitoring of forest resources in
general.
• in conjunction with the National Coordinator of Indigenous Peoples of
Panama (COONAPIP) and the Ministry of Environment of Panama
(MIAMBIENTE), a project was carried out for the community
management and monitoring of forests in indigenous territories
5. Community forest monitoring - Activities
• Capacity development of indigenous technicians in the areas of
remote sensing of geographic information systems (GIS) and forest
and carbon inventories.
• Generation of geo-referenced information among the different
indigenous territories, using a standardized methodology and, at the
same time, serving the specific needs of each territory.
• Standardization of the storage of remote sensing data at different
scales and processing of field-collected information that is reliable
and truthful.
6. Community forest monitoring - Activities
• Drafting of the first draft of the community intellectual property
protocol on traditional knowledge of flora species and collecting
reference plant material in indigenous territories.
• Training on methodology and measurements for the National Forest
and Carbon Inventory of Panama (INFC) and collection of forest data
in indigenous territories.
7. Community forest monitoring - Tools
• Open source software: Google Engine, QGIS, ODK
• Georeferenced database with satellite information and forest
inventories
• Drones
• Equipment for collecting forest information
8. Drones
This technology allows:
1. The monitoring of areas with continuous cloud permanence
2. To be economically efficient for the monitoring of inaccessible areas
and with little visual coverage
3. Be easy to learn and to generate reliable results
4. Empowering communities to use the tool from their own capacities,
since it can be monitored when needed
5. Optimize surveillance: The evidence gathered can be useful for legal
proceedings.
9. Drones - model chosen
• Fixed Wing Equipment, Model E384 which is designed for
photogrammetry and mapping applications and was chosen
for:
• being easy to use,
• easy to repair and very light, and
• can cover large distances in a single flight.
• This model also makes it possible to carry out, specifically,
flight plans and post-processing for the monitoring of the
earth.
10. Drones - Main features

portability
Automatic camera control Canon S100 12.1 MP
11. Drones – How to prepare flights
• Prepared forms: pre-flight / post-flight checklist and
take-off supervision
• Preparing the equipment
• Assembly of the drone: assembly of fuselage, tail and
elevator, wings, elastic bands to fix, camera, cable
connections, battery of the drone and, finally, the
motor propeller.
• Connection to telemetry and flight mission
planning
• Create the flight plan:
• search the site of interest,
• create the polygon of the area to be flown and
• generate flight lines (Software: The Mission Planner )
12. Drones – How to analyze data?
• Process digital information,
georeferenced
orthomosaics (Software
Agisoft)
• Products preparation of
maps for decision making
(Software QGis, Google
Earth Engine, etc)
13. Learned lessons - Limitations
• there was an unanticipated limitation related to the participation of
women in training activities.
• The project also presented some challenges related to the forest
monitoring system, such as:
• System sustainability
• Credibility of the information generated at community level for the national
authorities
• Comparability of information
• Incorporation into the National Forest Monitoring System and Nationally
Determined Contributions (NDC)
14. Learned lessons - Impact
The monitoring component of forests in
indigenous communities has greatly aided
global monitoring and has helped meet the
demands of the REDD program at the
national level.
Those areas of the forests that belonged to
indigenous territories had not been covered
by pre-project monitoring.
15. Learned lessons - Impact
Communities can use data and information to
dismantle and report illegal logging operations,
but also to monitor fires, harvesting of crops,
water resources, etc. The use of the data depends
on the decisions of the indigenous authorities.
Emphasis on the capacity development:
Indigenous communities have been trained in
the use of drones and other technologies to
monitor changes in land use and coverage of all
areas
16. Learned lessons - Innovation and success
factors
• With the new knowledge and equipment
available, communities can generate very
accurate data that help them make decisions and
manage their territory.
• But beyond technology, it has been the people
involved in the project who have pulled it off.
• The practice has had positive results, thanks to
the close collaboration with COONAPIP and the
technicians chosen by the traditional authorities
of the indigenous territories.
17. Learned lessons
• COONAPIP was the initial driver and focus at
each stage of the project and the link between
all the parties involved. They also supported the
Prior Informed Consent (FPIC) process before
starting any activity in indigenous communities.
• Indigenous technicians also played a key role in
the project. A bond and a network have been
created, after having conducted various
activities throughout the year.
18. Learned lessons
• The continuity of the project with different sources of funding,
created a favorable environment for the understanding and dialogue
among stakeholders to identify issues in their territories.
• Replicate and/or advance With the support of FAO, two indigenous
technicians conducted two workshops on the use of drones in
Guatemala. During 2017, a workshop will also be held in Paraguay, to
share the experience with the indigenous communities of that
country.
Editor's Notes
According to FAO's 2015 Global Forest Resources Assessment, between 2010 and 2015, 16,400 hectares of forest per year were lost (equivalent to 90,000 soccer fields per year)
Deforestation and the loss of ecosystem services associated with forests represent the loss of natural capital from which the livelihoods of local communities and indigenous peoples depend
More than half of the Panamanian territory is covered by forests and indigenous peoples, the main inhabitants of these areas, play a vital role in the care and monitoring of this important resource for food security.
based on parameters such as camera, flight altitude, desired resolution of images, 60% photo overlap (recommended), available battery time and others. manual describes in detail the procedures to follow with the application.

At first there were women participating in the training, but at the end of the activities they had stopped attending.
So far we have not identified the specific reasons why women left the project and how we could reverse the situation.
What is clear is that the gender approach in the project was poorly developed and this should be prioritized in future actions.
