Project Description:

The University of Maryland’s Global Land Analysis and Discovery (GLAD) laboratory has a long history of national to global-scale forest monitoring, including estimation of land use outcomes that follow deforestation. As part of ongoing humid tropical forest monitoring efforts, GLAD is currently working on a 30+ year assessment of primary humid tropical forest extent, loss and land use outcomes for Indonesia. The proposed activities will extend this work for the 2017-2018 period.
