1 Supported by Remote sensing systems to monitor conversion areas Lao-EU FLEGT VPA, Crowne Plaza, Seite 1 Supported by Contents 1 Monitoring of Conversion Areas 2 Optical Earth Observation 3 Forest Degradation 4 Remote sensing in FLEGT 5 Results Satellites 6 Results UAVs 7 Discussion 2 1

2 Monitoring of conversion areas Dennis Roitsch GIZ Internship Programme February to July 2017 Task: Compile list of remote sensing systems for near real-time monitoring of conversion areas in a future TLAS 1. Weak supply-chain control in the past 2. Logging often happened outside concession areas, causing forest degradation 3. One focal point of the EU Lao-FLEGT negotiations Remote sensing + on-the-ground inspections Seite 3 Optical earth observation Canopy openness is a good indicator Minimal seasonal variation Topography complicates remote sensing Difficult climate conditions: - Cloud coverage - Atmospheric disturbance Seite 4 2

3 Forest degradation Proxies used by remote sensing Log landings Openings in canopy cover Logging trails Seite 5 Remote sensing in the TLAS 1. Legality Definition 2. Timber Supply 5. Independent Audit 3. Verification of compliance of operators and timber products 4. Issuing of FLEGT Licenses chain Seite 6 3

4 Investment Project Timeline for Conversion Timber Remote sensing Concession Agreement Proposal Survey Construction phase Construction, including logging ESMMP Implementation Operation Phase One-Phase or Two-Phase Approach Phase I: Wide-ranging detection with satellite imagery Phase II: UAVs for detailed assessment Seite 8 4

5 Eligible optical satellite missions Planet Sentinel 2 Resolution 5m/3m 10m Revisit time Daily 5 days Processing time 1-2 days 1-3 weeks Data costs Software 10-21USD/km² (1 year) MangoMaps: USD 3,600 Free Training USD 4,000 Included OpenForests: USD 37,500 Unique: USD 63,000 Seite 9 Planet Labs 143 Doves (micro-satellites) in orbit Weight 4kg (Sentinel 2: 1,140kg) Camera resolution between 3m and 5m per pixel depending on altitude Latest launch 14 February 2017 Completely functional by end of 2017 Automated time series analysis is developed Requires annual renewal Seite 10 5

6 Planet Labs - Explorer Seite 11 DeltaNBR Developed by Joint Research Centre (JRC) JRC shifts from Landsat 8 to Sentinel 2 (30m 10m resolution) FIPD/DOFI took part in trainings and field missions already Shows logging & logging trails Free data and software Seite 12 6

7 DeltaNBR Sentinel 2 and RapidEye (5m resolution) compare well in detectable detail Challenges: Method requires bare soil Limited time frame for detection Cloud-free images required No final accuracy assessment yet DeltaNBR also detects windbreaks, dead bamboo, fire damage & vines Fig.: Comparison: Landsat 8, DeltaNBR & RapidEye* * From left to right: 12 January 2014, 21 April 2015, DeltaNBR, 30 March Seite 13 Phase II - UAVs SPEL-3 Skywalker Frame ebee Seite 14 7

8 Phase II - UAVs Spel-3 ebee Skywalker Frame Price USD 152,000 USD 14,070 USD 7,975 Payload 2.5kg 5 different sensors by SenseFly 1kg Type of UAV Fixed-wing Fixed-wing Fixed-wing Flight time 120 minutes 50 minutes 100 minutes Mapped area n/a 12 km² 5 km² Seite 15 Approval process for UVA flights Fill in form from National Geographic Department 8/2/2017 National Geographic Department submits to Ministry of Home Affairs 8/3/2017 Permission from Ministry of Home Affairs & National Geographic Department 8/10/2017 Applicant submits to Ministry of National Defense 8/11/2017 Permission from Ministry of National Defense 11/13/2017 Applicant submits permission from Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of National Defence and National Geographic Department form to the Ministry of Aviation 11/14/ Aug Sep Oct Nov Official way takes 2-3 months - FIPD requires about 4 weeks - Space Eye Lao takes 10 days 8

9 Discussion Technology: Phase I: Sentinel 2 data as long-term solution at the lowest cost for the next 7 years Planet Labs is the easiest to handle & cloud based Phase II: Organization: With introduction of Sentinel and given the legal requirements, there is no need for UAV utilisation Define roles and procedures for verification in the TLAS Seite 17 Discussion Responsible SCC Verification Advantage Disadvantage MAF/DOF (FIPD) Logging Management Committee MAF/DOFI Technical capacity Inventory and Planning, not law enforcement Responsible based on 0112 Law enforcement agency No capacity So far no remote sensing capacity MoNRE/ DESIA Project Developer To be used for other monitoring purposes? Obligation to pay (ESMMP implementation and monitoring?? Seite 18 9

10 Open questions Further discussion of responsibilities needed. How to institutionalise remote sensing within the TLAS? What remote sensing system is most suitable? Where and when can remote sensing be piloted? How to secure the necessary funding?
