Introduction Wetland Vision3

Funded by Netherlands programme Partners for Water running until december 2015 (2 years).

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 Vision4

Project thematic focus:Wetlands (swamps) Wetland forests (peat swamp forest, mangrove)Flooding events

Spatial planning and disaster risk (government)Supply chains (private sector): Palm oil Pulp and paper Timber Carbon credits, shrimp aquaculture

Pilot area(s): Borneo and Sumatra (East Java?)

Introduction Wetland Vision5

New satellite techniques are available providing big datasets of free-low cost imagery for improved monitoring of wetlands and wetland forests

-> Combine 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.

First establish map specifications based on user needs.

For which area to create demonstration map products?

When to carry out field work for ground truth (calibration, validation)?WetlandVision planning6

Introduction Wetland Vision7

Today's afternoon workshop: policy and decision makingWho is already doing wetland and wetland forest mapping and where?Exchange ideas, establish potential for cooperation

Get feedback: What map types are possible? What priority?What stakeholders (can) have an impact on the status of wetlands and wetland forests and how? If available, what will stakeholders do with maps? What use cases?How do we define what are useful maps?

Introduction Wetland Vision8

What are the objective of wetland maps? Maps can help:

Positive approach Improve transparency of sector to help strengthen brand: show that fires are not in plantationsPlanning: increase profit by avoiding planting in flooded/wetland areas; flood risk survey for land development Marketing: show no primary forest is cleared by pulp sectorAffordable high carbon stock assessmentComply with shrimp certification requirements

Introduction Wetland Vision9

Practical applications of maps can be:

Reduction of economic loss from flooding by showing which areas to avoid for plantation 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.

Introduction Wetland Vision10

Practical applications can be:

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.

What else???

Thank you!

New maps and derived information are intended for example to:provide new capabilities, to enhance performance, make the execution of a task more efficient, etc.

To derive user requirements, an understanding is needed of: operational scenarios the users are facing, what the problems are, what opportunities exist for improving the situation.

What existing operational processes could be improved by new maps?

What are existing problems (or shortcomings) and opportunities for improvement in the operational process?

E.g. high carbon stock requires too much field masurements..Break-out objectives12

User needs and map specification workshop lead by WI:

1. which users exist and what are their roles and responsibilities ?

2. what are the problems faced by each user and their information needs

3. for what purpose are maps used, what map functions and performance is required by users, which have priority (Mandatory must have / Important / Nice to have)

4. what are conditions (thematic content, spatial resolution, update frequency etc.), and limitations (field data needed, large area covered, etc.)

5. how to define criteria to assess whether map technique is useful?

Methodology:Workshop, holding interviews, and using an online questionnaire, Letting users review and provide feedback on and validate the User Requirements. Break-out questions13
