Remote sensing monitoring of FSC forests

22 March 2012

NextGIS has completed a project to create a first stage of geographic information system to monitor forest plots certified by Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

The objective of the project entitled “Facilitating monitoring of large forestry enterprises in Russia using remote sensing data” was to collect information and build tools for effective data analysis. The project was carried out by NextGIS and Biodiversity Conservation Center under collaboration with FSC Russia and financial support from Embassy of Netherlands’ MATRA program.

Main results:

  • Geospatial data was created for 70 out of 123 certified forest plots
  • New free and opensource software to detect changes on certified areas using remote sensing data
  • New free and opensource software for quick statistics generation
  • Change analysis for 20 plots to detect forest logging and fires during the lease period
  • Analysis of  forest management data for administrative regions of Russia available via web (forest plans and forest regulations)
