This project considers the conditions under which it might be beneficial to use terrain-going cable-yarders as opposed to building forest roads and yarding the timber directly to roadside. Yarding in the terrain implies that the timber still needs to be forwarded to roadside. However, the relatively low productivity rates achievable with cable yarders increases the cost of forwarding due to long waiting times when distances are short. These systems are found to be a competitive option when small volumes must be harvested far from a forest road, when there are other considerations to be taken account of in avoiding road construction, or in playing an important role in connection with catastrophes such as widespread wind-fall where road construction cannot be carried out in time to extract the timber.

A climate change mitigation mechanism for emissions reduction from reduced deforestation and forest degradation, plus forest conservation, sustainable management of forest, and enhancement of carbon stocks (REDD +), has received an international political support in the climate change negotiations. The mechanism will require, among others, an unprecedented technical capacity for monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon emissions from the forest sector. A functional monitoring, reporting and verification requires inventories of forest area, carbon stock and changes, both for the construction of forest reference emissions level and compiling the report on the actual emissions, which are essentially lacking in developing countries, particularly in Africa. The purpose of this essay is to contribute to a better understanding of the state and prospects of forest monitoring and reporting in the context of REDD+ in Africa. We argue that monitoring and reporting capacities in Africa fall short of the stringent requirements of the methodological guidance for monitoring, reporting and verification for REDD+, and this may weaken the prospects for successfully implementing REDD+ in the continent. We presented the challenges and prospects in the national forest inventory, remote sensing and reporting infrastructures. A North–South, South–South collaboration as well as governments own investments in monitoring, reporting and verification system could help Africa leapfrog in monitoring and reporting. These could be delivered through negotiations for the transfer of technology,technical capacities, and experiences that exist among developed countries that traditionally compile forest carbon reports in the context of the Kyoto protocol.
