whisp stands for WHat IS in that Plot ?
The Forest Data Partnership promotes a Convergence of Evidence approach for Forest and Commodities Monitoring
- no single source of geospatial data (i.e a land cover map) can tell the whole story around any given plot of land,
- all the existing, published and available datasets contribute to telling that story
whisp implements that convergence approach by providing a transparent and public processing flow using those datasets
whisp can be implemented through at least three pathways
-
As an operationnal API in JS and Python
-
Through mobile applications to enable smallholder in the field directly generate and own the monitoring data associated with their plots of land
-
Integrated through Graphical User Interfaces for demonstration and verification purposes
