1 Presentation of the different land cover mapping activities in the French Guiana LCCS Land Cover Classification System 9 to 13 March 2015 Paramaribo - Suriname

2 INTRODUCTION French Guiana : ha ha of tropical rain forest + 95 % of territory French Guiana, French overseas department, depends on : National protocol Regional protocol Regional mapping activities : Kyoto Protocol Coastal expertise Others

3 SUMMARY National protocol : Regional mapping activities : Kyoto protocol Coastal expertise ONF Guyane Research Land cover maps of National Park

4 National Protocol Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) : NGI (National Geographic Inventory) coordinates the response of France. Convention of Biological Diversity : NGI provides data. Forest Europe : NGI involved in the creation of reports on sustainable management indicators of European forests. OCS GE : Land cover classification Large scale To better understand the consumption of natural, agricultural and forestry territory and control the evolution of the land artificialisation. National classification shared by all users and producers. Classification compatible with existing regional nomenclature or project (as possible) - Compatible with Corine Land Cover (European classification). France and overseas department -> in French Guiana, it s managed by Environment Office and ONF provides data and participates in the reflexion. This project has just started in French Guiana.

5 National Protocol CORINE Land Cover (CLC) : geographic database produced in the European Coordination of information on the environment program called CORINE. This biophysical inventory of land cover provides a geographic reference information for 38 European countries. Program continuity and diffusion of CORINE Land Cover data are controlled by the European Environment Agency. The producer for France is the Service of the observation and statistics of the Ministry for the Environment. Photo-interpretation of satellite images, with support additional data. Production scale is 1/ data bases in Europe: 1990, 2000 and 2006 for land use and land use changes. For French overseas department (part of Guyana - band of 20 km wide along the coast) : 2 versions are available for the years 2000 and 2006 and changes. It was not satisfactory for French Guiana -> Regional mapping developed by ONF -> Coastal expertise

6 National Protocol Kyoto protocol : International agreement aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and which is in addition to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change which participating countries meet once a year since Signed on 11 December 1997 at the 3rd Conference of Parties to the Convention (COP 3) and entered into force on 16 February This protocol was designed to reduce, between 2008 and 2012, at least 5% from the 1990 level emissions of six greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and three substitutes for chlorofluorocarbons. In 2009, 184 countries have ratified this protocol. Inventory realized by CITEPA for Environment Ministry, conducted from the surface states. Surface state are realized by a statistical survey on the ground, except in the overseas departments. 3 dates of reporting : For French Guiana : 1990 and 2008 was realized in France, with a partnership with ONF Guyane / 2012 was realized in French Guiana by ONF Guyane, with a partnership with IGN.

7 SUMMARY National protocol : Regional mapping activities : Kyoto protocol Coastal expertise ONF Guyane Research Land cover maps of National Park

8 KYOTO PROTOCOL INVENTORY Objectives of the project : In the Kyoto Protocol framework : reduction of GHG emissions To produce inventories for commitment periods : 1990, 2008 and 2012 Methods Based on the existing method (developed and approved by IPCC in 2006) Statistical inventory wall to wall mapping On the basis of stratified sample points By visual photo-interpretation of satellite imagery Landsat Images for year 1990 SPOT images for years 2008 & 2012 To be combined with emission factors Dendrometric expertise carried out in 2005 by ONF, CNRS and CIRAD (One global tree biomass per hectare for French Guiana forest 350 t/ha) From existing inventory data and experimental protocols

9 KYOTO PROTOCOL INVENTORY

10 KYOTO PROTOCOL INVENTORY : Software Point with a circle of 0,5 ha = french definition of the forest Software designed for this study by IGN

11 KYOTO PROTOCOL INVENTORY : Map

12 COASTAL EXPERTISE Coastal band = 8% of the territory 90% population Special ecological environments. Conflict of Interest -> Need a reference study. Existing studies in 2001, 2005, 2008 and 2011.

13 COASTAL EXPERTISE : Nomenclature

14 COASTAL EXPERTISE : Map Photo-interpretation et numerisation «Wall to Wall mapping» Ground validation with helicopter mission

15 ONF GUYANE RESEARCH : Map of Landscapes Geomorphological approach with SRTM Classes of relief

16 ONF GUYANE RESEARCH : Map of Landscapes Field observations, describe the variability of habitats 12 different landscapes

17 Land cover map of National Park Amazonian Park of Guiana 3,4 Millions of Ha the largest national park in France and Europe In the south of French Guiana Monitoring of Land cover Since 2005 / each year From aerial photographies and satellite images (SPOT) Especially about shifting cultivation and dynamics From the nomenclature of coastal expertise and adapted for the Park
