Description
BOSQUES 3.0 promotes the creation of new IT tools for the sustainable management and enhancement of Spanish forests. It includes digitization and registration of forest areas, remote sensing of changes in national vegetation cover, and strengthening the forestry-industry partnership.
Objectives
- Digitization and registration of national forest areas with a guarantee of sustainable management for target users
- System for identifying changes in vegetation cover using remote sensing techniques to improve resilience, biodiversity, and sustainable use of forests
- Strengthening and improving forest and forest product value chains. Enhancement of social and economic aspects.
Results
- Comprehensive tool for managing and monitoring the certification process, integrating digital mapping of certified surfaces and automatic characterization
- Image processing chain implemented in cloud technology, change mapping, remote sensing information available on the platform and updated image based on Sentinel 2
- Coordination between users and agents, strengthening forestry and industry, and creating the "Open Bosques" web portal for viewing sustainably managed forest areas in real time.
