Mitigating and managing biodiversity impacts of logging and/or large scale agriculture is considered by many forest managers to be the single biggest challenge to overcome for implementing sustainable practices in the field. This reflects both the real-world complexity of biodiversity and what’s required to manage it, as well as staff limitations for implementing management plans once they are developed.
Daemeter provides a range of field-based technical, advisory, and training services to survey biodiversity and implement effective plans for management and monitoring. These include:
- Ecosystem mapping using remote and field based method
Ecosystem mapping is fundamental to conservation planning in production landscapes. This is especially true in species rich, data deficient countries such as Indonesia, where few standard data sources are available. Ecosystem mapping enables effective planning of field biodiversity surveys, desktop carbon and/or wood volume estimates as well as basic production planning, including harvesting, infrastructure development and conservation activities. Daemeter combines expertise in ground, aerial and remote methods for accurate mapping of ecosystem types in Indonesia at a variety of spatial scales. Daemeter is committed to quality and accuracy in mapping, working within limitations of available data and developing techniques to overcome these limitations as required.
- Biodiversity survey
Impacts of forestry and agriculture on biodiversity are a leading concern among stakeholders, and one of the biggest challenges for companies to manage. Our unique combination of field experience, knowledge network and in-house expertise enables Daemeter to deliver practical solutions to complex biodiversity challenges. With in-house scientists and biodiversity expertise, Daemeter designs and conducts biodiversity surveys for a range of clients and purposes. Daemeter combines diverse field teams of national and international experts with remote sensing to map major ecosystem types, thereby ensuring that conclusions drawn from survey results are optimized. Survey designs are tailored to specific survey goals to maximize outcomes, efficiency and direct management applications.
