The GSE Forest Monitoring consortium received expressions of interest from new users in Poland and S.Africa. Additionally interest was expressed by partners to harmonise the DUP-Kyoto services such that a stepwise process to ensure that the service provision is in line with prevailing procedures and standards that govern GSE FM services are produced. Proposals for activities were developed for the pilot cases in Poland (with the Dept. of Forestry, Ministry of Environment) and S.Africa (CSIR) which focussed on services for the UNFCCC reporting, as well as the harmonisation of the DUP-Kyoto service cases. These were approved by ESA and activities were initiated.
