Ethiopia's National Forest Monitoring System

A shared reference for forest area, condition, and carbon across Ethiopia connecting field inventory, satellite land monitoring, and greenhouse gas reporting in one system.

Architecture

Three pillars, one system

A complete monitoring system rests on ground inventory, satellite observation, and the accounting layer that turns both into a national greenhouse gas estimate. Live tools are linked directly; modules still in development are marked accordingly.

NFI

National Forest Inventory

Ground-sampled plots measuring forest area, structure, biomass, and species composition across Ethiopia's regions.

GHG Inventory & Reporting

Combining activity data and emission factors into national estimates for the forest sector, with the uncertainty and QA/QC that reporting requires.

About

A central hub for Ethiopia's forest data

The Ethiopia National Forest Monitoring System connects stakeholders to the tools, data, and reporting behind sustainable forest management, supporting national inventory, land monitoring, and greenhouse gas accounting for the forest sector, in line with UNFCCC MRV requirements.
