Assessing forest degradation: towards the development of globally applicable guidelines

The preparation of “Assessing forest degradation – towards the development of globally applicable guidelines” represents a joint effort of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF) undertaken under the umbrella of the 2010 Global Forest Resources Assessment (FAO,2010). FAO gratefully acknowledges the financial and in-kind contributions to this work made by CPF partners. Thanks go to all who have contributed to the development of this work: to those who provided answers to the initial questionnaires, to the authors of the 20 case studies, and to the authors and experts who contributed to technical meetings. A special thanks go to the authors of the chapters that describe key criteria for measuring forest degradation and to Victoria Heymell who saw the task through many arduous steps. Thanks also go to Mette Løyche Wilkie, Emma Foti, Marisalee Palermo and the rest of the FRA team in FAO for providing advice, guidance and assistance along the way and to Alastair Sarre who did the final editing.
