Stakeholder workshop results Indonesia & Uganda 2019
by Hinrich Paulsen
Dear list,
since another stakeholder workshop is coming up in Cusco, Peru (March 10
- 12, 2020) I thought that it might be a good idea to share results (see
attached PDF) from the stakeholder workshops that took place in Palangka
Raya, Borneo, Indonesia in September 2019 and Kampala, Uganda in October
2019.
Looking forward to any comments.
Best regards,
Hinrich

Dear list,
in answers to the thread 'Which other languages besides English,
Spanish, French & German are desirable in HERMOSA?' Bahasa Indonesia and
Portuguese were named.
Since this seems to be a good idea I would like to ask the list for a
translation of the brochure into the 2 respective languages.
Best regards,
Hinrich

Problem identification and global context
The Earth is suffering from enormous quantities of degraded land, where
erosion is taking place, watertables have dropped, people are moving
away because there is no perspective, biodiversity is declining and
hunger is prevalent. At the same time the Earth is heating up because of
unsustainable use of fossil fuels. One of the best ways to overcome
these problems is to plant trees.
Every year the global community meets at the Conference of the Parties
(COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC) to discuss measures to slow down climate change. On September
25th, 2015 the United Nations adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals
(SDG), while during the COP24 in Katowice, Poland in December of 2018
almost all participating countries agreed to provide information on the
status of their country and what each one is doing with respect to
climate change. The more ambitious countries will actually start to
restore their degraded land and report on their progress to the global
community. In the meanwhile on March 01st, 2019 the United Nations
General Assembly adopted a resolution to proclaim 2021 to 2030 the
United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.

Introduction to the solution
HERMOSA is a service platform promoting the use of satellite imagery and
financed in part by the European Space Agency (ESA). The platform
tackles the question of land restoration in its larger sense and the
positive impact it has on the issue of food security (SDG-2), creating
sustainable jobs (SDG-8), Land Degradation Neutrality (SDG-15),
empowering communities in technologies (SDG-17) and accelerating other
conventions on climate change (e.g REDD+) among others.
HERMOSA is accessible through the internet, empowered by web-mapping and
remote sensing technologies and will be built using Open Source
Software. The vision of HERMOSA is to offer transparency, traceability
and flexibility on the various aspects of agroforestry and landscape
restoration including the process of its’ implementation.
An acronym for Holistic Ecosystem Restoration Monitoring, repOrting,
Sharing and mArketplace; in Spanish ‘hermosa’ means ‘beautiful

Website translation to Bahasa Indonesia & Portuguese
by Hinrich Paulsen
Dear list,
in answers to the thread 'Which other languages besides English,
Spanish, French & German are desirable in HERMOSA?' Bahasa Indonesia and
Portuguese were named. Since this seems to be a good idea I would like
to ask the list for a translation of the website at
https://hermosa.mundialis.de/ into the 2 respective languages:
==================== E N G L I S H ====================================
**What is HERMOSA?**
The HERMOSA Platform is a 4-in-1 service platform for land restoration
that allows to globally identify potential locations for land
restoration in an objective fashion that are currently suffering from
land degradation and therefore deforestation, food insecurity, non
sustainable land management and other undesirable effects.
By the way, HERMOSA is an abbreviation for Holistic Ecoystem Restoration
Monitoring, repOrting, Sharing and mArketplace; incidentally HERMOSA
also means 'beautiful' in Spanish.
Make sure to download and view the HERMOSA project brochure.

==================== P O R T U G U E S E ==============================
please insert Portuguese translation for English textblock above here
==================== E N G L I S H ====================================
**Identify & Connect**
The module „Identify & Connect“ basically consists of a kind of a multi
sided market place, that gives visibility to the different offers and
demands of the various stakeholders that are connected to/involved in
ecosystem restoration. This may be the government that has committed to
climate measures in the form of Nationally Determined Contributions
(NDCs) and whose emissions are to be reduced by adopting mitigation
measures such as planting trees. The government would like to be
informed about all ongoing land restoration projects that have an impact
on carbon sequestration in the country. Be it financiers, who would like
to know about potential areas of land restoration published by planting
companies. A spatial search for example will reveal land devoid of
vegetation with a specific soil type and an inclination of less than 20°
while at the same time having a population above a certain threshold in
a buffer area of 50 km. At the same time the spatial search will reveal
who is working in the area with which expertise and who might be willing
to join a project consortium.

==================== P O R T U G U E S E ==============================
please insert Portuguese translation for English textblock above here
==================== E N G L I S H ====================================
**Organise & Implement**
The second module „Organise & Implement“ is a cloud based Geographic
Information System (GIS), that supports the organisation and planning of
planting activities through a set of GIS utilities and algorithms and a
collection of analysis ready Geo and Earth Observation data. Due to the
size of the project area it is not feasible to plant the thousands of
hectares in one day. Instead a management plan has to be drawn up and
communicated where the restoration efforts will start. This requires the
transportation of people, water, fertilizer and seedlings to name one
example. Since all activities take place in a spatial context it is
paramount to have up to date maps with which to support the
communication amongst the stakeholders.

==================== E N G L I S H ====================================
**Monitor & Report**
The third module „Monitor & Report“ is a cloud based data processing
engine, based on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), that can be
integrated into the nationally existing local processing infrastructure.
This module offers two usage modes. The first mode allows the access to
a set of remote sensing data processing and Artificial Intelligence
algorithms, that can be used as a tool box by a local advanced user to
produce maps and perform geo-based analyses. The other mode offers a set
of predefined products (e.g. land cover change maps based on the IPCC
mapping guideline) that will be pre-computed and made available to the user.

==================== P O R T U G U E S E ==============================
please insert Portuguese translation for English textblock above here
==================== E N G L I S H ====================================
**Learn & Share**
The fourth module „Learn & Share“ is about opening a space for learning,
knowledge sharing and capacity strengthening opportunities. It is a
space that will be presenting guidelines, learning materials,
documentations, videos and online workshops about various aspects that
are connected with ecosystem restoration.

Which other languages besides English, Spanish, French & German are desirable in HERMOSA?
by Hinrich Paulsen
Dear list,
currently the HERMOSA platform will be available in the languages
English, Spanish, French & German. Considering some numbers of native
and non-native speakers fished from the internet
* English (~983 million speakers)
* Spanish (~527 million speakers)
* French (~229 million speakers)
* German (~100 million speakers)
around 1,839 million people or close to 25% of the estimated world
population of 7,500 million people could find a language in HERMOSA that
suits them. Obviously providing languages underlies certain resource
constraints thus the question:
* Which other languages besides the ones mentioned above would benefit
users and stakeholders and should be considered with a priority when
extending the language scope?
Please offer some insights regarding your language choice with respect
to number of speakers, geographical distribution, need for ecosystem
restoration etc.
Best regards,
Hinrich

Which parameters/criteria should we collect for a project?
by Hinrich Paulsen
Dear all,
in the current HERMOSA prototype the following parameters get collected
when you open a new project:
* Project Name (any free text)
* Location (a map opens where you can digitize your project area)
* Status (with the following modes: active, pending, monitoring,
finished, cancelled)
* Start date (a date)
* End date (another, later date)
* Description (any free text)
* Logo (upload an image up to 2 MB in size)
* Images (upload as many images as you like)
What the HERMOSA-team is wondering:
* Which other parameters/criteria describe a project and MUST be
collected?
* Which other parameters/criteria describe a project and COULD be
collected?
Please remember that all projects will be found in the search and that
different stakeholders like
* governments
* NGOs
* planting companies
* other industry
* universities
* financiers
* civil society
* etc.
will be looking for specific information according to their needs.
We want to know which these are to accomodate them in the platform if
possible.
Best regards,
Hinrich
