NTFP harvesters as citizen scientists: Validating traditional and crowdsourced knowledge on seed production of Brazil nut trees in the Peruvian Amazon por Thomas, E., Valdivia, J., Alcázar Caicedo, Carolina, Quaedvlieg, J., Wadt, Lucia Helena O., Corvera, R.

“…Our findings suggest that productivity estimates of Brazil nut trees and possibly other NTFP-producing species could replace or complement actual measurements, which are very expensive and labour intensive, at least in areas where harvesters have a tradition of collecting NTFPs from the same trees over multiple years or decades. Productivity estimates might even be sourced from harvesters through registers on an annual basis, thus allowing a more cost-efficient and robust monitoring of productivity levels.…”

Assessment of Large Scale Land Cover Change Classifications and Drivers of Deforestation in Indonesia por Wijaya, A., Sugardiman, R., Budiharto, Tosiani, A., Murdiyarso, Daniel, Verchot, Louis V.

“…National capacity for forest change assessment and monitoring has been well-established in Indonesia and the availability of national forest inventory data could largely assist the country to report their forest carbon stocks and change over more than two decades. This work focuses for refining forest cover change mapping and deforestation estimate at national scale applying over 10,000 scenes of Landsat scenes, acquired in 1990, 1996, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2011 and 2012. …”
