Towards a European Forest Monitoring System
The new EU Forest Strategy 2030 requires reliable data, transparent governance, and coordinated exchange at the EU level. National Forest Inventories (NFIs) in Europe can deliver precisely that.
Having 34 members in 31 European countries, ENFIN can provide a Europe-wide network of experienced NFI specialists and organisations that have collaborated in multiple projects, mainly focusing on the harmonization of forest data. Combined they have over half a million field plots producing detailed and compatible information with state of the art field surveys as well as remote sensing technologies. These data have long been used for strategic planning by the governments and more recently also in cooperation with the EU Commission.
