研究開始時の研究の概要 |
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?

研究実績の概要 |
In the first year (FY 2022), a spatially explicit database of forest loss and relevant social-ecological variables was created, and a review of work in relation to forest cover change monitoring and social-ecological status indexes was performed. Three indexes were conceptualized and developed as proxy indicators for socially and ecologically sensitive areas, namely the climate change mitigation potential index, the biodiversity conservation potential index, and the disaster risk reduction potential index. An overall composite index, called the socially and ecologically sensitive areas index (SESAI), was also developed by combining all three indexes. Finally, a test analysis focusing on Southeast Asia was conducted.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
For the second year (FY 2023), the plan and targets are as follows: (i) to repeat the analysis for Southeast Asia using different forest loss datasets or similar datasets (e.g. tree canopy cover) and verify the consistency of the results; and (ii) based on the results of (i), to expand the analysis to include the entire tropical region, encompassing the rest of tropical Asia, Africa, and South America. Additionally, the initial results will be presented in academic and scientific conferences.
