Dear all,
In October I had a pleasure to participate in Petrozavodsk in International Scientific Conference 07-12 of October "Green Belt of Fennoscandia".
I had a pleasure to represent ENPI KARLANDS project there.
On the conference I gave a presentation with regards to New method for sustainability assessment of trans-boundary forest management. Thus, with use of remote sensing, particularly Landsat images which are free of charge with spatial resolution 15-90 meters it became possible to analyze time series of satellite images on any area of the forest during the period from 1974 to 2013. Thus, the study is aimed for assessment and testing of sustainable forest management practices in cross-border context between Finland and Russia.
Local TV in Karelia was broadcasting the event. So, on the picture you can see the biggest banner on the Conference.

Project objectives:
Fostering good governance in Karelian landscapes of Finland and Russia
Specific objectives:
1. To develop common spatially explicit database
on current and potential use of natural resources, primary production,
state of biodiversity and recreational use of nature for the Muezerskiy
and Kostomukshskiy regions from Russian side and provinces of Ilomantsi,
Lieksa, Kuhmo from Finnish side.
2. To update natural resources inventory and biodiversity data using satellite remote sensing.
3. To evaluate the impact of nature use intensification in cross-border context using the various value chains (stone and extractive industry value chain, gold mining value chain, forestry and wood value chain, energy production and consumption, bioenergy development versus oil consumption, biodiversity and multiple use & conservation of forests, nature tourism versus natural resources utilization).
4. To develop integrated landscape plan aimed to maximize the utilization of natural resources, biodiversity conservation and recreational use of nature in study area.

To enhance efficiency, a stakeholder panels for consultation in various project uses (e.g., collecting data, making plans, dissemination of information) has been drafted.
