United for nature: keeping a close eye on forests in Latin America and the Caribbean

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in partnership with the National Institute for Agricultural and Food Research (INIA) of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM), the Forestry Institute of Chile (INFOR), and the European NFI Network (ENFIN), hosted the webinar, “United for nature: keeping a close eye on forests in Latin America and the Caribbean.”

This event brought together forestry practitioners and experts to discuss the importance of robust and transparent forestry data for effective and evidence-driven policy- and decision-making. At the event, FAO and partners presented a state-of-the-art publication “National forest inventories in Latin America and the Caribbean: Towards the harmonization of forest information” and held a dynamic discussion around the country examples and the most relevant aspects of this work. The event aimed to increase knowledge sharing about the national forest inventory processes and strengthen the NFI network, in order to improve the quality and transparency of forest data and information.
