Journal articleCreating a global map base of Indigenous Peoples and local community places and people
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The security that the world’s forest-dwelling people have over their collective lands and resources are of increasing importance in the face of global challenges such as climate change, loss of biodiversity and land degradation. As areas occupied by Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLC) are increasingly threatened, the need to clarify rights becomes more urgent. Yet, progress is incomplete and held back by a lack of knowledge of where and how IPLCs occupy land. Building on the success of the LandMark initiative to map known IPLC land rights, and Prindex, a joint initiative of Global Land Alliance and ODI to measure perceived tenure security, the next major effort is the development of a global participatory IPLC map and database platform – “map base” – with the transformative potential to map all IPLC rights to land and resources globally. This document details the prospective development of the map base platform and methodology for measuring tenure security. Key advances include the platform’s scalability, focus on community participation, predictive approaches to identifying lands likely under IPLC occupation, and the incorporation of spatially-referenced perceived tenure security data. The result will be a unique and robust platform that will fill key knowledge gaps in the urgent discussions around effective approaches to protecting forest areas and supporting the people who actively manage and depend on these ecosystems.

Journal articleImprovement of the forest cover-changes cartography from global forest change for critical deforestation regions in Mexico. Case of the Lacandona Region 2014-2021

No results found.Global Forest Change (GFC) is a global monitoring system with moderate resolution (Landsat, 30 m pixel) that allows knowing the location and magnitude of the losses or gains of global forest cover. Critical Forest Change (CFC) is a calibration system based on comprehensive photo interpretation (1:10,000 scale for change editing, and 1:5,000 scale for interpretation- confirmation of change strata), with diagnostic criteria supported by field data of the National Forest Inventory (scale 1:1, period 2014-2021). CFC reduces until 85.8% the overestimation of the forest loss of GFC in the case of the Lacandona Region (327,646 ha). The process included the analysis of data at 330 study sites and the interpretation of 1,190 frames of Spot-6 (April 28, 2014) versus Sentinel-2 (April 24, 2021) in higher resolution (10 m). The annual rate of forest loss obtained by GFC (4,526 ha.yr-1) is 1.87 times higher than the LFC rate (2,415 ha.yr-1). Through a comparative analysis between the cartography of GFC and CFC, it was possible to identify that 19.2% of the differences correspond to phenological changes (leaf fall deciduous, greenness variation, or alteration of the biomass due to eventual changes in humidity). 31.3% by Landsat spatial resolution limitations, 3.8% occurs in changes by industrial plantations, 11.6% of the differences can reduce by eliminating the GFC residuals outside the forest FAO definition (changes less than 0.5 ha), 7.4% of the differences correspond to atmospheric noise in the interpreted images, 6.8% to visual omissions and 19.9% there are no changes by interpretation. The cartographic adjustment of GFC by CFC is relatively fast (1,000 ha.hr-1 per photointerpreter-expert). Its implementation improves the spatial coherence, periodicity, and legibility of the areas of change, strengthening the relevance of both systems in local policy decisions.

Other documentCircular (bio) economy of Brazilian planted-forest based industry: a successful case towards a sustainable, inclusive and innovative green path
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The Brazilian Tree Industry (Ibá) is the association responsible for institutionally representing the planted tree production chain with its main stakeholders. Ibá represents 50 companies and 9 state entities for products originating from planted trees, most notably wood panels, laminate flooring, pulp, paper, charcoal steel industry and biomass, as well as independent producers and financial investors. The sector holds 9 million hectares of planted trees besides 5.9 million hectares for conservation adding 7% of Brazil’s industrial Gross Domestic Product.
Climate change has gained emergency status and requires concrete transformations, since there is no more room for the linear economy. Resources need to be intelligently used to minimize pressure on natural capital. Scaling up the sustainable bioeconomy is essential to decarbonize the economy. Committed to that change, the planted tree sector in Brazil has started to act early by investing in innovation to optimize the use of resources into valuable new solutions. This paper aims to present cases on energy, paper recycling, water circularity and the production of around 20 new products/uses coming from dozens of residues. As a brief, 95,8 % of the solid residues has at least one more use. From that, 67% of residues produce 69% of the energy demanded, contributing to a renewable energy matrix. In post-consumer waste, 67% of the paper is recycled, reducing the pressure of natural resources. In terms of water use, pulp and paper industry has decreased 75% of water needed to produce one ton of pulp and some mills and some wood panel mills have reached 100% of water circularity. This paper aims to show sectorial data and eight cases of companies from pulp and paper, panels and charcoal based steel industry moreover all benefits that (bio) circular economy brings for surrounding area of activities such as job creation, shared value, income generation etc. towards a sustainable and inclusive green path.
