31. Next Steps
• Combine with scientific survey and diagnostic techniques.
• Use of methodologies as a basis for Ethno-zoning, REDD/PES
projects, management/protection plans, education and health
programs, etc.
• Training of others in how to implement this methodology.
• Develop additional technological tools to increase the efficiency
and reach of mapping work (Example: Google partnership).
37. Community Use
• Load point features from a GPX-file
• Display the features in Google Earth Plug-In
• Edit the Name, Icon and Description of the
points
o Choose from 12 predefined Icons
o Use a WYSIWYG-editor to style the HTML-
CSS-balloon
• Save the information as KML
42. Surui Carbon Project
Components:
• Reforestation
• REDD – “Avoided Deforestation”
If the Surui forests burned today (over 600,000 acres)
they would release the equivalent of ten years of
Chicago’s annual carbon emissions.
