2. Community measurement, monitoring and mapping of forest carbon

Field guide:

KTGAL (2009) A Field Guide for Assessing and Monitoring Reduced Forest Degradation and Carbon Sequestration by Local Communities, Parts 1, 2 and 3 (in one volume).
This document is a field manual, developed by the K:TGAL project, for the training of local organisations who would in turn train local communities to make formal forest inventories. It is the full field guide, being updated and improved on a regular basis. Any comments or suggestions would be very welcome. Please send these to Verplanke@itc.nl
