Descripción
Understanding changes to forest resources is key to developingeffective national and international environmental policies.Consequently, the need to develop forest monitoring capacities isgrowing. In India, ongoing forest degradation is a serious challenge,which is further complicated by the lack of reliable monitoring andassessment of the growing stock of trees at the state level.This project aimed at addressing the critical gaps in India’s forestrysector and supporting the development, implementation andutilization of the proposed National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS).Based on a series of commissioned studies, the frameworks necessaryfor critical, integrated and comprehensive assessments of the impactsof different forestry sector actions in the six pilot states weredeveloped, and appropriate strategies and policies forthe development of the Indian forestry sector were formulated.
