Definition
- Global Forest Watch (GFW) is an international partnership of non-governmental organizations, private companies, government agencies and research institutions. GFW partners work in regions that are home to many of the world's most important forest ecosystems -- North America, South America, Central Africa, Russia/Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. The GFW network supports better decisions on the management and conservation of these forests by: Developing practical applications of remote sensing and information technologies to map and monitor the condition of priority forests; Providing training and technical assistance to governments, corporations, and non-governmental organizations in the use of these tools; Building bridges among business, government, and civil society institutions to promote collaborative problem solving; Helping to design strategies to successfully incorporate new approaches into decision-making processes.
