Title
Forest cover trends in the Northern Plains of Cambodia 2002-2010
Author(s)
Hugo Rainey, Heng Bauran, Tom Evans
Abstract
We present results of an analysis of forest cover trends in the Northern Plains landscape in Cambodia from 2002 to 2010. This report will be used to inform development of a REDD project although the impact of this report will be influenced by the REDD methodology selected. The study focuses on two protected areas, a logging concession and an adjacent unzoned area in Preah Vihear province (together referred to as the CALM landscape), all of which have been under conservation management since 2002 with more intensive management since 2006. The study also focuses on six adjacent sectors (together referred to as the Buffer Area), which are not managed intensively for conservation. Satellite imagery was compiled from four points in time (2002, 2006, 2009 and 2010) to assess forest cover at each time period. The mosaic method was used to combine the various images from different sources into one single image for each year. Imagery was combined with other datasets to estimate annual deforestation rates across the landscape and for each sector.
