Effectively monitoring deforestation is a crucial component for the success of REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation). In this presentation, Willian Flores from UFAC Instituto de Mundancas Climaticas gives an overview of how state-wide monitoring is conducted in Acre, Brazil. Willian Flores gave this presentation on 8 March 2012 at a workshop organised by CIFOR, 'Measurement, Reporting and Verification in Latin American REDD+ Projects', held in Petropolis, Brazil. Credible baseline setting and accurate and transparent Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of results are key conditions for successful REDD+ projects. The workshop aimed to explore important advances, challenges, pitfalls, and innovations in REDD+ methods - thereby moving towards overcoming barriers to meeting MRV requirements at REDD+ project sites in two of the Amazon's most important REDD+ candidate countries, Peru and Brazil.
