We report that pan-tropical monitoring of forests hidden by clouds will now be easier, thus strenthening existing global monitoring efforts. We present in this report two successful efforts to create large-scale, cloud-free mosaics of forests for two large tropical forest regions: the island of Bali (7,500 km2) and the Xingu River headwaters in southeastern Amazonia (400,000 km2).

Assessing compliance with the Forest Code: A practical guide

The goal of this guide is to help buyers of Brazilian forestry and agricultural commodities to verify compliance with the Brazilian Forest Code in their supply chain. It presents a range of available and evolving tools to ensure compliance with the Forest Code in the supply chain. The tools described are credible and practical instruments that buyers can use without the need for legal or environmental specialists. In this way, the private sector can support the transition to legal compliance in Brazil’s rural environment, also with the benefit of promoting commodities produced in Brazil in the domestic and international markets.
