| dc.description | Forests are of critical importance to Myanmar’s rural economy and forest-dependent communities. Rural poverty, overharvesting and shifting cultivation have been threatening the implementation of sustainable forest management (SFM), and there has been an alarming rate of forest cover loss in the country in recent decades. SFM is largely dependent on the availability of reliable and up-to-date information on the extent and quality of forests, based on periodic monitoring. Against this background, it was necessary to greatly improve capacities to collect, analyse and report forest-related data, and to establish centralized data storage and a sharing mechanism. The project was implemented in synergy with other related projects, of which the most relevant one was the United Nations Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (UN-REDD). | |
