Forest applications include forest area estimation and mapping, forest monitoring, forest fire assessment and forest management.

For example, the Republic of Korea estimated that its forests would begin to decline within 30 years, culminating in severe damage after 100 years, and Azerbaijan indicated that the total area of coniferous forest is expected to decrease by 2.5 per cent under a scenario of doubled CO2 concentration in the atmosphere.

While forest biodiversity continues to decline as a result of deforestation, forest degradation and associated fragmentation of forest habitats, strong efforts are now being made to reverse this trend by restoring the forest functions in degraded forest landscapes.

The owner of the forest also has a duty to take measures to reduce the possibility of the forest damage and restrict its distribution to monitor forest situation and to notify the State Forest Service of determined forest damage.
