Lessons Learned: Vegetation Monitoring, Fire Management Monitoring, and Peat & Hydrology Monitoring.

In retrospect, given the large volumes of data collected by all three monitoring teams, it would have been advantageous to have appropriate databases designed to house to manage all this data and support analyses.

Key Lessons Learned: 1. REDD+ projects may need to establish datasets that can quantitatively measure rates of change in carbon dioxide emissions for the specific area. 2. To achieve this, a vast volume of data will need be collected. 3. This data will require management, verification and protection. 4. This can be done in Excel but, more ideally, in a properly designed database, with back-up protocols in place.

About

This report outlines why monitoring teams were established in KFCP and are necessary for REDD+. It then describes the team-specific and shared lessons learned from the field of the three KFCP monitoring teams. Topics include: working within the village institutions, local community involvement, staff training, to methodological refinements, costs, efficiency, and data management. Each section describes the context to each topic, the challenges faced, and steps taken to overcome these challenges and minimise the likelihood of obstacles emerging, with discussion and recommendations provided. Where possible, variation across the study site is discussed and detailed examples are given in each section. | Authors: Laura Graham, Fransiscus Xaverius, Tri Wahyu Susanto, Sherly Manjin, Elba Tri Juni, Febrasius Masal, Ariesandy Sanora and Nasrul Ichsan. | Design & Layout: Stella Pong. | Publisher: IAFCP
