DEFOREFF - Assessment of deforestation by country based on the criteria of the French Forest Footprint Framework
Partners
Main goals
Envol Vert is an association for the fight against deforestation and rural development that works in Latin America and France, it creates strong links with local populations to promote their conservation initiatives, participate in sustainable rural development and develop economic alternatives to deforestation.
As part of Envol Vert's participation in the Scientific and Technical Committee for Forests (CST), set up following the launch of the National Strategy for the Fight against Imported Deforestation (SNDI), Envol Vert carried out the reflections around the Référentiel Empreinte Forêt France. This reference system aims to jointly define the main technical criteria necessary to best assess France's participation in deforestation.
Specific objectives
Therefore, the main objective of the mission is to operationalize the measurement of deforestation by taking into account the main criteria chosen by these working groups.
OS1. Measurement of deforestation and forest degradation in 15 countries taken from France's import profile
OS2. Assessment of the responsibility of each value chain at risk of deforestation with regard to the increase in production area compared to the increase in Useful Agricultural Area
