It focuses on tools and algorithms developed by the Satellite Monitoring for Forest Management (SMFM) project financed by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented by the World Bank in 2017â€“2020. This note summarizes the key aspects on using satellite data in dry forest monitoring and its target audience is senior forest managers, policy makers and other users of forest data. For more technology focused audience, the SMFM project also prepared a series of other documents: i) good practice guidance â€“ a guidance document for dry forest assessment and monitoring; ii) validation compliance report; iii) project implementation summary; and iv) working practice document (manual) for each tool developed under the project. 2021-01-11T14:59:02Z 2021-01-11T14:59:02Z 2020-12-18 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/207291608700842710/Multi-Regional-Satellite-Monitoring-for-Forest-Management-Use-of-Earth-Observation-Tools-in-the-Monitoring-of-Tropical-Dry-Forests-A-Briefing-Note-for-Forest-Managers-and-Policymakers http://hdl.handle.net/10986/34998 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Other Environmental Study
