Government will be using satellite images to monitor changes of Guyana’s forest over the past decade and has put out bids for a consultancy post to manage the project.
The Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC), in an invitation for proposals in the Sunday’s edition of Kaieteur News, says that government has embarked on a national programme that aims to continue to maintain and enhance the protection and sustainable management of Guyana’s forests.
This, according to the advertisement, is an effort to reduce global carbon emissions and at the same time attract resources to foster growth and development along a low carbon emissions path.
The consultant will be required to develop capacities for monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of forest carbon stocks and changes.
“As an initial step to the implementation of a MRVS for Guyana, a road map for the development of a MRV system for REDD+ participation for Guyana was designed following a stakeholder participation session.”
The consultant would be required to be experienced in remote sensing and GIS and will have to undertake comprehensive, “consistent and transparent assessment of forest area change for the historical period of (about) 1990 to 2009 using several time steps of archived Landsat-type satellite data that meet the criteria of the IPCC Good Practice Guidelines for LULUCF.”
