1. EU ReCover project objective
• To develop beyond state-of-the-art service capabilities to support reducing deforestation and forest degradation in the tropical regions:– Research project driven by REDD+ monitoring needs– Monitoring system of forest cover, forest cover
changes and biomass mapping including accuracy assessment.
– Capabilities are based on utilizing earth observation and in-situ data
– Using multiple remote sensing data sources– Involvement of national and regional partners, and
user organizations

ClassificationStep 1: water mask (HH-07&10)Step 2: Vegetation cover change (HV difference 2007-2010)Step 3: Differentiating deforestation and other vegetation decrease, such as agriculture (HH-HV difference 2007)
Water mask
Positive change (e.g. reforestation)
Negative change
Forest/dense vegetation -> non-forest
Other vegetation decrease
