Integrating Forest and Landscape Restoration into National Forest Monitoring Systems

Latin America and the Caribbean are home to about a quarter of the planet’s forests, and these ecosystems provide vital goods and services to communities and indigenous peoples in the region. With the launch of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration in June of this year, the global community has stepped up its efforts to restore and protect ecosystems such as these. With support of UN-REDD Programme and other initiatives, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has helped countries around the world establish and strengthen their National Forest Monitoring Systems (NFMS). Now, FAO has developed steps for integrating forest and landscape (FLR) restoration monitoring into NRMS. This webinar, which focused on the topic of integrating FLR monitoring into NFMS, included speakers who reflected on experiences from Latin American and Caribbean countries. Additionally, the webinar marked the launch of UN-REDD’s new publication, “Integrating Forest and Landscape Restoration into National Forest Monitoring Systems,” that introduces 16 steps for integrating FLR into NFMS and further explores examples from the region.
