ReCaREDD project : forest degradation monitoring : workshop - Ispra 11-15 July 2016

A ReCaREDD regional workshop at the JRC Ispra, 11-15 July 2016. Participants from Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda and two regional centres RCMRD & ICPAC took part in the workshop - including training and practical sessions on processing and interpreting satellite images for forest monitoring and ground data collection. The workshop brought together a group of experts from partner countries in Africa to take part in a capacity building and information sharing workshop dedicated to reducing barriers for forest degradation monitoring in the tropics. A main part of the workshop was dedicated to the provision and processing of Sentinel-2 data. The JRC and the partners worked together to select test sites and methods for carrying out pilot studies for forest degradation monitoring.
