FSC’s Mapping Portal: Using Maps and Geospatial Analysis

Do we know what’s happening in our forests if we can’t see them? That’s where spatial technologies come in. Join FSC International’s resident “geo-geeks,” Andrés Felipe Ramírez and Scot McQueen, to learn how these technologies are giving us the power to use satellite imagery, publicly available data, and our own information about our certified forests to understand the impact certification makes over time – and what that tells us about how FSC can improve. We’ll also give an update on Motion 61: Compile a digital map of FSC-certified forests worldwide.
