Dear colleagues,
The World Intact Forest
Landscapes Map is the first global assessment of intact
forest landscapes based on high-resolution satellite
imagery analysis. The World Intact Forest Landscapes
Map is based on a global set of criteria and approaches
the same for all countries and continents. This may
neglect of some regional differences in understanding
the human role in certain types of forest landscape
disturbances (like fires or hunting). Also, the world
map can have some inaccuracies due to lack of information
about the local land use practices and the state of
forests in some regions of the Earth. The authors
plan for the map to be periodically updated as soon
as new data and more sophisticated sources of information
and technologies are available. Ideally it should
become a "living map", which will periodically be
improved and updated to reflect the results of intact
forest landscape monitoring.
In order to improve map
quality and to find the best solutions for solving
methodological problems we ask you to participate
in IFL project Peer Review.
You can download the Review
Form and return the completed form back to the
project coordinators ilona.zhuravleva@ru.greenpeace.org.
You can make an anonymous review or sign the form
and we will include you in our Reviewer
List (Updated 2006 March 27). The Peer
Review results (Updated 2006 March 27) are available
here.
