WRI’s work with partners to monitor legislative representation in Africa was presented recently in Cameroon.
Presents an analysis and geographical representation of relatively large landscapes free of visual evidence of human disturbances across the State of Alaska, USA.
Mapping less disturbed forest tracts, floodplain and bottomland ecosystems of intact river basins, naturally rare and unique forest communities, and rare and endangered plant species habitats – to aid regional conservation strategies.
Presents the results of a multiyear project to map Canada’s large, intact forest landscapes and analyze their distribution and level of protection.
The analysis compiles a comprehensive set of geospatial indicators of human activities that lead to forest degradation and conversion. Illustrated by numerous maps, the results provide valuable insights for land-use planning and zoning.
Assesses the forest carbon situation in Russia and makes the data available to researchers and policy makers.
In one source, this Atlas contains much of the relevant spatially explicit data for forest management and governance in Cameroon.
The first analysis of its kind performed in Canada combining satellite imagery, GIS and ground-truthing to create an electronic atlas that uses ESRI software in an easy-to-use interface.
The first-ever, detailed map of intact forest landscapes in Russia, and can be used to flag areas where special precautions must be taken before development decisions are made.
This brief presents preliminary findings and recommendations from research on natural resources in decentralization efforts around the world.

Describes, for the first time, the extent and distribution of the country’s intact forests while identifying priority areas for conservation and future monitoring work.
A comprehensive, map-based analysis of the scale and pace of change affecting Indonesia’s forests and the forces and actors that are driving deforestation – turning Indonesia from a forest-rich country to a forest-poor country.
This first attempt at identifying boreal forest areas of minimal human disturbance (intact) using high-resolution satellite imagery reveals that only 14 percent or 32 million hectares of the boreal or northern forests of European Russia remain.
Cameroon’s forestry legislation is implemented by the allocation of ventes de coupe, Unités Forestières d’Aménagement (UFA) and community forests. This paper presents information on how different logging rights were allocated and to whom.
