The Ministry for the Environment (the Ministry) is seeking proposals to field check areas of forest loss to determine whether deforestation has occurred at each site. Images of each area of forest loss are required to provide evidence of the current land use. This could include evidence of replanting (on-going forestry land use) or evidence of conversion to another land use like grazing or settlement (deforestation).
The LUCAS programme uses multispectral satellite imagery to identify and map land use change occurring across New Zealand in order to quantify the greenhouse gas emissions and removals associated with these changes. Emissions and removals are reported each year as part of NZ’s National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report (NIR), which is submitted to the United Nations to meet international reporting obligations under the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol.
This RFP relates to the purchase of remote image acquisition and interpretation services. The Ministry has mapped approximately 7000 distinct areas of forest loss which occurred during 2015 and 2016. There are also approximately 1400 areas which lost forest in earlier years for which current land use is unknown. These areas require field checking to determine the current land use. These forest-loss “targets” range in size from approximately 1 to 800 hectares and cover a total area of approximately 131,000 hectares, with targets located in all regions of New Zealand
