(MRVS) Interim Measures Report 01 October 2010 – 31 December 2011 Version 3 26 July, 2012 Guyana Forestry Commission Guyana REDD+ Monitoring Reporting & Verification System (MRVS) Interim Measures Report 01 October 2010 – 31 December 2011 Version 3 26 July, 2012 i DISCLAIMER Indufor makes its best effort to provide accurate and complete information while executing the assignment. Indufor assumes no liability or responsibility for any outcome of the assignment. ii PREFACE The Joint Concept Note (JCN) between the Government of Guyana and the Government of Norway identifies the stepwise and progressive development of the Guyana Monitoring Reporting and Verification System (MRVS) as an ―Indicator of Enabling Activity‖ as outlined in the JCN, Section 2. The JCN also outlines that the mechanism for financial payments for services to Guyana. These payments areresult-based with deforestation and forest degradation measured against an agreed level. In 2009, Guyana developed a national framework for an MRVS. This framework was developed as a ―Roadmap1‖ that outlines progressive steps over a 3 year period that will build towards a full MRVS being implemented. The aim of the MRVS is to establish a comprehensive, national system to monitor, report and verify forest carbon emissions resulting from deforestation and forest degradation in Guyana. The first year started at 2010 and required a number of initial reporting activities to commence. These were designed to assist in shaping the next steps planned for 2011 and 2012. The initial steps allowed for a historical assessment of forest cover to be completed, key database integration to be fulfilled and for interim/intermediate indicators of emissions from deforestation and forest degradation to be reported for subsequent periods. To date, two national annual assessments have been conducted, including the one outlined in this Report. The first assessment period covered Year 1 (01 October, 2009 to 30 September, 2010) and the second (Year 2) covering the period 01 October, 2010 to 31 December, 2011. The agreement between Guyana and Norway embarks on one of the first national-scale REDD- plus initiatives in the world. Given the nature of this cooperation agreement, and the implications that initial results and lessons learned will have it is important the MRVS is seen as a continuous learning process that is progressively improved. This process also assists to inform other countries seeking to take this same path This report aims to fulfil in part, the deliverables of Specific Activity Areas 1-3 of the forest area assessment initiative of Guyana‘s MRVS, as provided by Induforand the GFC. The contract for this work under Year 2 of the MRVS Roadmap, extends to July 2012. At the completion of this contract all specific activities identified in the Terms of Reference will be completed, specifically item 4 (an independentAccuracy Assessment) as well as the associated capacity building activities. In tandem with the work summarised in this report, an accompanying and closely connected programme of work is being implemented by GFC, with the assistance of a specialist firm (Winrock International), to develop a national forest carbon measurement system. This programme will establish for Guyana, carbon conversion values, expansion factors, wood density and root/shoot ratios as necessary. Additionally, a detailed assessment of key processes affecting forest carbon including a summary of key results, and capacities as well as a long-term monitoring plan for forest carbon will be developed. This aspect of the MRVS work, in tandem with continued work as summarized in this report, will enable a range of areas, including forest degradation to be comprehensively monitored, reported and verified at the national scale. Both aspects of work are initial parts of Year 2 of the Guyana MRVS Road Map. As the MRVS is being developed, the reporting in this period, like in the case of Year 1 will be based on several agreed REDD+ Interim Indicators. The Report therefore aims to fulfill the requirements of a number of ―Interim Indicators for REDD+ Performance in Guyana‖ for the period 01 October, 2010 to 31 December, 2011, as identified by the JCN Table 2. In other words, 1 http://www.forestry.gov.gy/Downloads/Guyana_MRV_workshop_report_Nov09.pdf Copyright © The Guyana Forestry Commission and Indufor iii the reporting on these intermediate indictors will allow for reporting to take place in the interim, while the full MRVS is under development. This Report describes the satellite imagery and GIS datasets, and processing of these data. It also provides a summary of the 'Interim Measures' that report on Guyana's progress towards implementation of its Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS). The methods and results of the assessment for the period 01 October, 2010 to 31 December, 2011 will be subject to independent third party verification and is a requirement for the results- based financial support for 2012. As required by the JCN, the verification will take place for the second time in 2012, and will be conducted annually for the duration of the Guyana / Norway Partnership. This third version of the Report has been produced taking into consideration stakeholder feedback received during a public release period executed over 15 June, 2012 to 6 July, 2012, as well as feedback and corrective actions resulting from the recently conducted (13-20 July), independent verification by Det Norkse Veritas. This report is issued jointly by Indufor Asia Pacific Ltd (Indufor) and the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC).

Casarim Copyright © The Guyana Forestry Commission and Indufor iv Comment from Norwegian Ministry of the Environment Please allow us to take this opportunity to thank you for receiving our comments on this report. Guyana has made impressive progress in developing the MRVS, as well as in taking action in or- der to keep deforestation and forest degradation at levels low. If the results of this report are con- firmed, forest based emissions in Guyana seem to have stabilized at an impressively low level. We thank you again for your cooperation, and wish you the best of luck in the continuation of your work. Response to comment Guyana also sees the progressive improvements in the work on forest area assessment, as part of the MRVS roadmap process. We plan to further work on some existing areas, such as degradation mapping, as well as to in- troduce new areas under the forest area assessment work in 2012/2013. A number of these have been summarised in Section 1.6 of IMR Version 1. Comment from The Amerindian Action Movement of Guyana The members of the Amerindian Action Movement of Guyana (TAAMOG) are pleased and happy over the release of the second performance report on interim measures for Reducing Emissions for Deforestation Plus (REDD+), under Guyana’s Monitoring Reporting and Verification System (MRVS). We are of the view that the second performance report is technically sound which will meet the expectations of the Guyana-Norway partnership model in the fight against Global Climate Change Response to comment The GFC in collaboration with its consultants have made efforts to improve on the year 1 map- ping (2009/2010) in a number of areas. One of the major areas of improvement is in terms of in- cluding a more precise method for degradation monitoring, and another is in the use of a higher resolution satellite imagery option (5m), for forest area assessment. There are areas for future improvement in year 3 and these will be next steps in the forest area assessment work. Guyana sees the work on the MRVS as a national model for the country as well as for other countries involved in work on climate change. We hope to bring important lessons from this un- dertaking which will include both successes and challenges faced. The Report has been formatted to report on both of these. A number of challenges that are faced, including issues of persistent cloud and finding appropriate and feasible methods to monitor for- est degradation,etc, have been identified in the report. Copyright © The Guyana Forestry Commission and Indufor v SUMMARY In March 2011, a revised Joint Concept Note (JCN) under the Guyana/Norway Agreement was issued, and replaces the JCN of 2009. The revised JCN provides an update on progress in key areas of work including on the MRVS. REDD+ Interim Indicators and reporting requirements, as had been outlined in the 2009 JCN, were maintained. The intention is that these interim measures will be phased out as the Monitoring Reporting and Verification System (MRVS) is established2. The basis for comparison of the area-based interim measures is the 30 September 2009 Benchmark Map3. The first reporting period (termed Year 1) is set from 01 October, 2009 to 30 September, 2010 with second reporting period (Year 2) covering 01 October 2010 to 31 December 2011, a fifteen (15) month period. For the Benchmark and Year 1 analyses, medium resolution satellite images were used to calculate the forest area, in accordance with Guyana‘s national definition of forest for REDD+, as at 1990. The total forested area at this point was estimated as 18.39 million hectares (ha) (with an indicative accuracy of 97.1%), of which 15.5 million ha is administered by the State.

So, Guyana and Suriname in one comprehensive tour of the region (assuming you do the extension). Got to be the way forward with ever improving infrastructure and better site information. Also, the Guianan shield avifauna is only accessed in Guyana and Suriname. That is, since Venezuela continues its staggering collapse into chaos and anarchy and, somewhat oddly, Manaus is remains out of fashion. Don’t understand that at all. Anyway, the Guianas do offer a great opportunity to see a good chunk of what the region has to offer so visiting both countries in one tour makes good sense. 2 BirdQuest Tour Report: Guyana & Suriname 2020 www.birdquest-tours.com I think it could safely be said that the tour was the best ever. We did improve on a number of counts as you might find, reading on. We did miss a couple of things and gain a couple of others. Whether I can now avoid the stultifying tedium of most tour reports is another question entirely, but I will try. However, I have just reread the list and what a trip. Got to be done, surely! A superb male Red (Orange?) Siskin (Jonathan Newman) Highlights as follows; outstanding views of Red Siskin on day 2, great experience with the magnificent Sun Parakeets on day 3, a nice session along the Ireng river with Hoary-throated Spinetails on day 4, a pair of Crestless Curassows at Karanambu, the other-worldly Capuchinbird, Bearded Tachuri at three locations, a couple of Crested Doraditos, a pair of Blue-backed Tanagers, a cooperative pair of Red and black Grosbeaks, a beautiful male Guianan Red Cotinga, the stunning Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock at a lek.
