Description
BOSQUES 3.0 promotes the creation of new IT tools for the sustainable management and enhancement of Spanish forests. Digitalisation and registration of forest areas, remote sensing of changes in national vegetation cover and strengthening the forest-industry link.
Objectives
- Digitization and registration of the national forest area 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 product value chains. Enhancing social and economic aspects.
Results
- Comprehensive tool for management and monitoring of the certification process, integration of 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 forest-industry and generation of the “Open Forests” web portal for viewing sustainably managed forest areas in real time.
