National Forest Monitoring and Data for Governments
Data-driven support in meeting climate, biodiversity, and land-use commitments across every hectare under public responsibility.
From policy to operational, large-scale implementation
Managing forest resources across large and complex areas requires balancing economic value, regulatory frameworks, environmental commitments, and public accountability. This demands reliable forest information and monitoring systems that provide full visibility, improve operational workflows, and support evidence-based decisions on a national scale.
Explore how governments establish operational national forest monitoring systems and deliver large-scale forestry programs with Arbonaut.
Trusted partner in 150+ public sector tenders involving system design, data production, and implementation

Delivering national-scale forest inventories across 200M+ hectares globally
Pain point
The gap between policy and implementation
Governments are responsible for implementing national forest strategies aligned with climate, biodiversity, and land-use commitments. While policies are well defined, implementation depends on coordinating multiple institutions, datasets, and workflows that are not yet fully aligned. This creates a capacity challenge in managing data production, system development, and reporting processes across national and subnational levels.
Arbonaut's solution
From national strategies to operational systems
Arbonaut enables governments to design and operate national forest monitoring systems (NFMS) by aligning data production, system implementation, and institutional capacity. This creates consistent and traceable data flows across agencies, from collection to reporting. As a result, national and international reporting becomes more reliable and defensible, supporting policy implementation at scale. Proven across 20+ REDD+ and public sector projects, Arbonaut has supported the transition from pilot initiatives to operational national systems.

Pain point
Limited visibility across national forest resources
Public forest agencies manage extensive and diverse forest areas, often relying on National Forest Inventories (NFI) with 5–10-year cycles and limited field sampling. While statistically robust, these approaches do not always support continuous monitoring or timely detection of changes. This places significant pressure on available resources in maintaining up-to-date, wall-to-wall visibility for planning, risk management, and reporting.
Arbonaut's solution
Continuous forest monitoring at national scale
Arbonaut establishes continuous monitoring by integrating remote sensing data pipelines with National Forest Inventories (NFI). This ensures up-to-date visibility across all forest areas, rather than periodic snapshots. As a result, changes are detected earlier, planning becomes more proactive, and national datasets remain consistent across institutions.

Pain point
Limited forest data and disconnected systems
Forest data is often distributed across multiple systems, formats, and departments. Legacy tools, spreadsheets, and standalone GIS databases frequently coexist without full integration. This creates a capacity challenge in maintaining consistent data flows, ensuring data quality, and making information accessible across institutions.
Arbonaut's solution
Integrated forest information systems across agencies
Arbonaut establishes integrated forest data environments and centralized data architecture, similar to national forestry databases implemented for public agencies managing multi-level access and reporting. As a result, data becomes consistent and traceable across agencies, manual processing is reduced, and institutions can rely on a single, consistent source of forest data across agencies. Backed by experience from 150+ public sector tenders, these systems are designed for long-term operational use and institutional ownership.

Pain point
Rising demands for transparency
Governments must report on forests across multiple frameworks, including carbon accounting, biodiversity monitoring, and land-use reporting (e.g. REDD+, LULUCF). These requirements demand accurate, traceable, and consistent data delivered at scale.
Arbonaut's solution
Reliable forest data for reporting and decision-making
Arbonaut supports national reporting with validated methodologies and scalable data processing workflows. Our systems process over 1.8M satellite images annually, enabling consistent and verifiable data for national and international reporting.
