Webinar „Geographic Information Systems: practical applications for sustainable natural resource management”

“Open-Source Tools for Project Monitoring and Reporting – Practical Applications from the Forest Sector“

In the current planetary crisis, we are experiencing challenges such as biodiversity loss, deforestation and land degradation. Open-Source tools are powerful allies to monitor and assess progress in addressing these challenges. This webinar will provide new insights into this evolving field through practical examples from the forest sector. Speakers will present innovative ways for using GIS tools and remote sensing solutions in research and development projects for the sustainable management of natural resources.
