Research Projects at Iwokrama

Priorities

Iwokrama encourages forest research in the widest interpretation of the term, although generally projects are pursued as a result of Iwokrama's experience and assessment of priority issues. However, research projects may also occur as a result of national or regional priorities, or in the general interest of forest science. Here are the current priorities for research at Iwokrama:

Carbon Sequestration

Non-Timber Forest Products

Timber Production

Wildlife Management

Valuation of Forest Areas

Biodiversity Inventory

Community Interaction

Remote Sensing

• Delineation of flooded forest and savannah areas
• Forest typing and other characterisations
