Satellite Land Monitoring Systems for REDD+ Understanding the basics by using remote sensing data

http://www.fao.org/forestry/en/ This video provides information on how remote sensing tools can help in reducing emissions from forest deforestation and degradation (REDD+) and how UN agencies are supporting countries to get ready for REDD+. Within the UN-REDD Programme FAO along with UNEP and UNDP supports countries to develop tools for remote sensing, satellite data processing for monitoring REDD+ activities and for the measurement of forest activity data to support the design and implementation of national forest inventories as well as green house gases inventories. © FAO: http://www.fao.org
