Forest Spatial Data Scientist The Nature Conservancy Boise, Idaho, United States
We describe insights from our evaluation of existing reforestation maps developed at global, regional, national, and subnational scales. We showcase a suite of new global maps that address common critiques and identify reforestation opportunities that consider ecosystem services, potential social conflicts, and government policies.
Learning Objectives:
describe common critiques of existing reforestation maps
evaluate global reforestation opportunities based on different values and motivations
apply insights from global reforestation opportunity mapping to local projects
