Project ReCover, funded by the 7th Framework Program of the European Union, developed beyond state-of-theart service capabilities to support fighting deforestation and forest degradation in the tropical region in the context of the REDD process (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation). A monitoring system for forest cover mapping by combining wall-to-wall mapping and a sample of VHR imagery was introduced. Also biomass and changes of forest cover changes were estimated.

The accuracy in forest and nonforest classification varied from 85 % to 97
