Result description
The Forest Tracker provides authorities with actionable data for forest protection, restoration, and sustainable land-use planning. For policymakers at regional, national, and EU level, the service supports environmental objectives across several dimensions:
- Biodiversity Conservation
- Climate Mitigation and Adaptation
- Land Degradation Neutrality
- Illegal Logging and Land Use Compliance
Importantly, the service bridges the gap between remote sensing technology and policy needs by delivering outputs in formats compatible with national statistical and reporting systems. This improves data accessibility and usability by ministries, environmental agencies, and conservation actors.
Addressing target audiences and expressing needs
- To raise awareness and possibly influence policy
The Forest Tracker aims to become a reference tool for forest condition monitoring in Romania and beyond. Outputs from it are being progressively aligned with key policy frameworks, including the EU Forest Strategy indicators, the Nature Restoration Law, and Eurostat pathways for SDG 15 reporting. While uptake through Copernicus platforms and EU-supported forest governance networks offers a pathway to dissemination, the service remains equally suited for direct adoption by public agencies and stakeholders at regional and national levels.
- Public or private funding institutions
- EU and Member State Policy-makers
- International Organisations (ex. OECD, FAO, UN, etc.)
