Field inspection by DOF and DFRM directors

The National Forest Inventory (NFI) for the dry season of 2015 - 2016 which targeted four provinces (Houaphanh, Khammouane, Xiengkhouang, and Sekong) has been completed. During the survey, Mr. Linthong, the Director of DOF-FIPD, and Mr. Somvang, the Director of Protection Forest and Conservation Forest Inventory Service of DFRM, also inspected the survey to check the progress as well as the operational issues. The findings will be incorporated into the plan for the next NFI 2016-2017 Dry Season.

The country-wide NFI will continue in the dry season of 2016 – 2017 and the results will become basic data for estimating forest carbon change, which are essential for REL and MRV. From the experiences of NFI 2015-2016 Dry Season, the survey structure will be further improved to ensure a high level of accuracy.
