Introduction Wetland Vision

• Funded by Dutch programme “Partners for Water” running until december 2015.

• Private Public Partnership led by Sarvision in collaboration with Wetlands International HQ and Wetlands International Indonesia, Nelen & Schuurmans and Wageningen University.

• WetlandVision aims to improve informed spatial planning and decision making by governments and private sector for enhancing sustainability of key agro-food commodity production chains, and climate mitigation and adaptation in relation to flooding risks and GHG emissions.

Introduction Wetland Vision

Combines field information, a software platform for large-scale near-real-time satellite image processing and a web portal to help:

Demonstrate and validate of an online satellite-based geo-information system providing accurate and frequent near-real time geo-information on tropical wetlands and wetland forest extent, degradation status, carbon stocks, and changes thereof in time.

Increase the awareness on the status of wetlands and opportunities for reduced loss and increased profits.

Build a strong relationship with government and leading private sector companies to generate new assignments for Dutch organizations.

Introduction Wetland Vision

Practical applications can be:

Reduction of economic loss from flooding by showing which areas to avoid for expansion as the risk of replanting is too high.

Reduction of economic loss from damage to brand reputation by providing independent evidence that commodities are produced sustainably.

Maintenance of market access by demonstrating compliance international and national directive.

Increase of profits by identification of lost production areas for rehabilitation and high yield areas.

Increase of profits from co-benefits: availability of accurate map information is a precondition for the quantification of carbon credits from conservation and rehabilitation.
