Ethiopia's National Forest Monitoring System

Forest area, condition and carbon data for Ethiopia, from field inventory, satellite land monitoring and greenhouse gas reporting.

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.

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.
