Drivers of DeforestationOne of the main drivers of deforestation is the expansion of the agriculture in frontier areas. For the two periods 1990-2000 and 2000-2008 the 99.4% of changes were found in the conversion of forest to agricultural land. Powered by monoculture like oil palm an sugar cane.

• Protect the forests and their ecological, economic and cultural values (4 million hectares).

• Reducing deforestation rates and emissions of greenhouse gases associated

• Improve the living conditions of rural populations (approx. 500,000 participants)

What are the approaches from international cooperation that you have find more useful for advancing the developing of your country MRV

system?

- Generated geographic information with more accurate data- Improve our understanding of what is already developed- Validate the information reported- Establish processes

The more useful approaches became from the capacitation initiatives.

Can you identify the most immediate needs on capacity building for forest monitoring?

Institucional - Consolidation and Institutionalization of the Monitoring Unit.

Remote Sensing-Degradation Metodology-Early Warning System implementation-Automation in Clasification Images (ReapidEye, Landsat and Modis)-Integrated the different types of remote information (lidar,radar,drone,optical)

Reference Scenario-National inventory of greenhouse gas-Consolidation of the National System of Permanent Plots (2014)
