dc.descriptionIn 1950, approximately 70% of the Panamanian territory was covered with forests, a figure that fell to 60% of the area in 2012, and which is still decreasing. Indigenous people are the main forest inhabitants and they play an invaluable role in monitoring and conserving forests, a fundamental resource for biodiversity and food security. To strengthen the natural resource management capacities of indigenous territories, FAO, with support of the UN-REDD programme, implemented a community forest-monitoring project. The project had as strong focus on capacity development of members of the indigenous communities. The training included the preparation of flight plans, arming and flying drones, image processing and mapping with high-resolution images. The main objective of the project was to identify changes in specific points of forest cover undergoing deforestation and degradation processes, to monitor the status of crops and to monitor invasions of territory. The introduction of drones made the whole process a lot easier.
