The main objective of the training workshop was to train the participants in reviewing and
analysing the remote sensing based forest classifications in their countries to facilitate the
harmonization and standardization at the sub-region and regional level and it included the
new demands of remote sensing based information for reporting to Convention on Biological
Diversity (CBD) in the year 2010. A supplementary objective was to inform the participants
about the proposed design and the implementation process of the remote sensing component
of Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) 2010.
