Linking real-time deforestation monitoring with policy action in the Andean Amazon
Key to addressing threats is the dissemination of precise information on where and why deforestation is occurring. ICFC’s partner Amazon Conservation leads deforestation monitoring in megadiverse tropical forests with its initiative called MAAP (Monitoring of the Andean Amazon Project). MAAP develops and publishes timely, high-impact technical reports in an easily accessible and understandable format for government officials, civil society and the public, featuring the most urgent deforestation cases.
