fundamental
mechanism
for
the
implementation
of
the
forest
restoration
activities
in
Quangnam,
has
also
been
discussed
with
the
PMU.

By
end
of
the
project,
the
forest
fragmentation
index
for
the
project
areas
with
direct
rehabilitation
interventions
has
been
reduced
by
50
%
(based
on
an
analysis
of
the
fragmentation
and
the
monitoring
of
the
forest
carbon
in
those
areas).
Progress
Discussions
with
the
German
Air
and
Space
Agency
regarding
cooperating
on
forest
cover
mapping
and
fragmentation
analysis
are
ongoing.
A
short‐term
service
provider
has
also
been
appointed
to
assist
with
the
planning
of
an
optimal
way
forward
regarding
the
spectrum
of
technologies
available
to
provide
a
base
line
against
which
project
progress
can
be
measured.

We
are
also
planning
to
conduct
some
research
on
change
detection
over
time
on
the
basis
of
LANDSAT
imagery,
starting
in
the
1980s.
The
fragmentation
index
itself
will
be
calculated
upon
the
most
recent
remote
sensing
imagery
from
Rapideye
or
SPOT
images.
Preliminary
analysis
has
demonstrated
that
ground‐truthing
needs
to
be
deployed
in
order
to
achieve
accurate
figures.
There
will
also
be
close
cooperation
with
the
current
work
being
done
on
the
development
of
MRV
technology
for
the
REDD
component
of
the
CarBi
project.

The
participatory
land
use
planning
of
the
forest
areas
to
be
restored
has
been
completed
for
the
first
areas
by
18
months
after
project
start,
including
the
development
of
maps
and
the
red­book
allocation.

At
least
7500
ha
of
forest
land
(e.g.
natural
forests
and
afforestation)
areas
are
formally
allocated
to
households
and
communities
by
the
end
of
the
project.

By
30
months
after
project
start,
first
land
titles
with
red
book
certificates
of
natural
forests
of
good
quality
(at
least
2c
or
3a)
have
formally
been
issued
to
communities
for
sustainable
forest
management.
