| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research aims to clarify the social-ecological implications of the recent and projected future global forest cover changes. It seeks to answer the following key scientific questions: (1) Is there evidence to show whether or not global forest cover loss has been (recent) and would be (future) moving towards the high carbon stock areas, mountainous and hazard prone areas, and biodiversity hotspots? (2) What are the implications of the findings in the context of biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation and adaptation?
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
In the second year (FY 2023), a global analysis for the entire tropical region was conducted. This involved deriving the climate change mitigation potential index, the biodiversity conservation potential index, and the disaster risk reduction potential index. Additionally, an overall composite index, named the co-benefit index, was created by combining all three indexes.

| Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The research has progressed smoothly as no critical issues were encountered.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
For the third year (FY 2024), the plan and targets are to finalize the global analysis, present the results in international academic and scientific conferences, and write a paper for publication in an international peer-reviewed journal.
