The project developed the concept of community-based forest biomass monitoring (CBFBM) through an intense process of action research conducted with local partners in Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Approaches for engaging communities in forest carbon stock monitoring were developed, tested and refined at each research site, and the findings were reflected in a comprehensive manual on community-based forest biomass monitoring, as well as disseminated at national, regional and international workshops, seminars and side-events.
