   Todo estudio de caracterización de causas y agentes de deforestación debe basarse en un marco conceptual sólido que tenga en cuenta los elementos más importantes para comprender y analizar el fenómeno, al tiempo que se adapte a las características del territorio estudiado. Contar con una base nacional de información de causas y agentes de deforestación, implica que los estudios se sustenten en una base conceptual común, que permita la estandarización y uso de la información recopilada a nivel local, regional o nacional, en el diseño de medidas y acciones de mitigación.

   Una de las problemáticas más serias identificadas luego de revisar la información de los estudios de caracterización, es la disponibilidad de los datos recopilados. En la mayoría de los casos el detalle metodológico y las bases de datos con la información generada, no están disponibles para su uso por parte de actores diferentes a los desarrolladores del estudio. Todos los factores mencionados dificultan enormemente cualquier intento por consolidar los resultados de los estudios disponibles en una única base de información nacional que apoye la toma de decisiones.
