2. Data is vital to tackling deforestation & accelerating restoration
Technology offers
unprecedented opportunities to
transform the way landscapes
are monitored and managed
3. We need to harness the full
potential of data and harmonize
the current fragmented data
landscape
4. The Forest Data Partnership
Unites organizations, governments and private sector
partners around trusted, transparent geospatial data
solutions that enable credible monitoring, verification and
disclosure of progress in reducing deforestation and
restoring degraded lands.
7. ● Focal areas
○ Cocoa in West Africa
○ Palm Oil in Southeast Asia
○ Cattle and Soy in the Amazon Basin
○ Restoration
● Who are we prioritizing? Mapping stakeholders based on:
○ Roles in how they interact with and/or produce data,
○ Their impact in affecting deforestation and restoration,
○ Their influence in the uptake and application of data
● Actors across supply chains and financial sectors, governments in
producer and consumer countries, civil society, technology and
service providers
○ Reaching beyond the usual suspects
○ Local and place-based affected stakeholders to ensure representation
Align Who?
8. Align On
What?
Current data challenges and obstacles to uptake and application
of data, such as:
● Gaps (the data doesn’t exist, or isn’t accessible)
● Conflicts (scales, methods)
● Accuracy
● Definitions
● Applications
9. Align - How
and Why?
●Tiered approach
○ Information gathering from specific stakeholders already
active in ongoing discussions
○ Targeted engagement strategies and business case for
participation for tougher to reach stakeholders
● Tailored to the context and priorities of specific
regions and supply chains
● Learning from existing MSAs to develop alignment
and decision-making processes
○ Interaction between different stakeholders
○ Ensuring representation and buy-in for outputs
(consultation vs. consensus)

From the Ground to the Cloud and

If the harmonized map is wrong,
users who are affected have an
opportunity to correct the record
by submitting more data to train
