Toolkit #6: Monitoring the Improvement of Water Security
Monitoring is a process of continuous assessment. It involves collecting data on the current situation (baseline) and on changes that are brought about through activities, projects and policies, or caused by socioeconomic and natural trends and events. Evaluation uses indicators to reflect on such measurable change, compare it to goals and targets, and use the […]

Standard Operating Procedures – Selective logging emissions (Spanish)
These SOPs provide a step-by-step guide to completing the field measurements necessary for the Winrock selective logging emissions accounting methodology. This version of the SOPs, which have been developed for several countries around the world, was tailored to the logging practices of Colombia.
Evaluation of the Hydrological Services Provided by Forest Restoration (Spanish)
A spatial analysis of the hydrological ecosystem services provided by forests, such as flood mitigation and water quality regulation. Hydrological modeling was done in three watersheds in Colombia (for the rivers Bogotá, Carare, and Suarez) to assess the impact of forest restoration on these services. The results showed that if concentrated in certain areas, forest […]
