National Forest Inventory

Vanuatu’s National Forest Inventory progresses

The islands remaining are Gaua, Maewo and Ambae.

The inventory was conducted on Santo, Malekula, Ambrym, Efate, Tanna and Erromango and data collected are in the advanced stage of analysis.

Once all the islands are completed, the Department of Forests (DoF) will submit Vanuatu’s Forest Reference Level (FRL) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) for technical review later this year, said the DoF Director, Rexon Viranamaga.
