Resumen
Descripción
Covering about one-third of the Earth’s land surface, forests are crucial for food security, livelihoods and for renewable biomaterials and energy. They are habitats for a large proportion of the world’s biodiversity, help regulate global carbon and hydrologic cycles, and can reduce the risks and impacts of drought, desertification, soil erosion, landslides and floods. Yet they also face many challenges and demands, and balancing priorities in forest management requires reliable, timely data. The project specifically focused on enhancing countries’ ability to collect, analyse, report and disseminate high-quality forest data using standardized methodologies, while also improving coordination between national, regional and global reporting processes.
