Forest managers and conservation teams need reliable, repeatable methods to track deforestation and forest health; this course builds those methods using freely available satellite imagery. Participants produce real deforestation and forest change maps during the training.
Sustainable forest management now depends on remote sensing to track change at a scale field surveys alone cannot match. This course builds practical capability using Landsat and Sentinel-2 imagery, covering forest and non-forest classification, canopy cover estimation, and multi-temporal deforestation and forest degradation detection using change detection techniques.
Participants also work through forest carbon stock estimation basics linking canopy metrics to biomass, and build the monitoring maps and reports used in REDD+ reporting, concession oversight, and community forest management programmes.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

This course is ideal for professionals monitoring and managing forest resources.
Participants who complete this course receive a Certificate of Completion from Vision Reach Global Consultancy. The course fee includes training materials, software lab access, sample multi-date satellite imagery, facilitation by an experienced forest remote sensing specialist, and a certificate presented at the close of the programme.
Everything you need to know about this course before you register.
By the end of the GIS and Remote Sensing for Sustainable Forest Monitoring and Management Training programme, you'll be able to classify forest and non-forest land cover using satellite imagery, estimate canopy cover using remote sensing indices, detect deforestation and forest degradation using multi-temporal change analysis, and estimate forest carbon stock basics from canopy and biomass proxies. The full breakdown of topics is covered session by session in the Course Outline tab above.
This course is ideal for professionals monitoring and managing forest resources. Typical delegates include Forestry and Natural Resource Managers, Conservation and REDD+ Programme Staff, Environmental Monitoring Officers, Community Forest Association Staff, and Remote Sensing and GIS Analysts in Conservation.
