Global Forest Watch 2.0 is a powerful near real-time forest monitoring system that unites satellite technology, data sharing, and human networks around the world to fight deforestation.

Representatives from around the world are gathering in Doha, Qatar to find common ground in the fight against extreme climate change.

Interactive Forest Atlas of Cameroon (version 3.0)

Version 3.0 of the Interactive Forest Atlas provides users with more complete and up-to-date information on the Cameroon forest sector – timber extraction areas, forest concession management plan status, volume of timber logged by concession area, and more. One of its main objectives is to strengthen forest management and land use planning by bringing all major land use categories onto the same standardized platform.

This map shows the change in protected areas in Cameroon between 1995 and 2008.

The Interactive Forest Atlas is both an information management tool and an aid to decision makers working to support the sustainable use of forest resources in Cameroon.

L’Atlas Forestier Interactif est à la fois un outil de gestion de l’information et d’aide à la décision en appui à une gestion durable des ressources forestières au Cameroun.
