Selected households for the national socio-economic survey (Bangladesh - 2015)

In 2015, the Bangladesh Forest Department, with technical support from FAO, and financial support from USAID, launched the project “strengthening National Forest Inventory and Satellite Land Monitoring in Support of REDD+ in Bangladesh”. Through this project, a robust and modern national forest monitoring system was developed, using the latest FAO tools such as Open Foris and LCCS to collect about 2000 permanent field inventory plots and over 6000 household surveys all over the country, integrating biophysical and socio-economic data and information.
