Forest Data Partnership

We are strengthening global monitoring of commodity-driven forest loss and advancing restoration across the globe. Learn more about how we plan to work together with partners and stakeholders to achieve this and create a shared data ecosystem.

Aligning on Foundational Data Gaps

The Forest Data Partnership brings together a global community of companies and organizations to collectively improve land use data. We align stakeholders to reach consensus around key data sets in the ever-expanding landscape of forest monitoring data and identify critical data gaps.

Initial focus areas:

- Cocoa in West Africa

- Palm Oil in Southeast Asia

- Cattle and Soy in the Amazon Basin

- Restoration Globally

 

Who are we aligning?

- Actors across supply chains and financial sectors

- Governments in producer and consumer countries

- Civil society

- Technology and service providers

- Local and place-based affected stakeholders

We work with you to compile, harmonize and mobilize the best available data using the ensemble method, a machine learning technique that combines several base models to produce an optimal, predictive model. Our ensemble includes the best available data sets, benefiting from diverse inputs.
