Definition: Forest Canopy Density (FCD)refers to the proportion of an area in thefield/ground that is covered by the crownof trees and is expressed in percentageof trees and is expressed in percentageof the total area.

THE WAY FORWARD
Forest Canopy Density (FCD) technology has beentested to generate digital stratified forest covertested to generate digital stratified forest covermaps and status of forest cover over time (timeseries) geared towards cost-effective operationsfor SFM, FLR, REDD, CDM and Climate ChangeMitigation activities.
Thus, it is recommended to use FCD technology as atool in identifying/delineating suitable areas forclimate change mitigation FLR SFM REDD and CDMclimate change mitigation, FLR, SFM, REDD and CDMconcerns through a possible resolution betweenITTO and UNFCCC.
