REDD - REDUCING EMISSIONS FROM DEFORESTATION AND DEGRADATION

Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) is a climate change mitigation strategy employed by conservation organizations, project developers and governments in developing countries. The intent of REDD is the conservation of forests to sequester carbon and reduce climate change impacts.

A key task of a REDD project is the determination of historical deforestation rates and patterns, as well the proximate causes and underlying forces of such deforestation. This baseline mapping is critical for the identification of future REDD project scenarios to conserve carbon.

Clark Labs provides purpose-built software as well as consulting and advisory services to REDD practitioners that address conservation strategies such as forest protection (e.g., protecting rainforest areas and infrastructure management) or sustainable forest production (e.g., agroforestry projects).

Renewal of Certification

As the GIS Code of Ethics is expected to prescribe, the GIS Professional has an obligation to not only be qualified for the tasks accepted, but also to keep current in the field through readings and professional development.  In order to maintain currency in the GIS field, the Committee feels that GIS Certified professionals should be renewed every five years.
