Musim Mas co-funded the development of Radar Alerts for Detecting Deforestation (RADD) with other private sector actors. RADD will make it much easier for companies and stakeholders to see deforestation happening in near-real-time and with greater accuracy. With this information, they can quickly mobilize follow-up actions on the ground and work to improve the sustainability of commodity supply chains.
Musim Mas, along with other funders of RADD, has selected Aceh Tamiang as one of its pilot areas. As such, RADD’s monitoring and alerts verification system has been integrated into IDH’s Verified Sourcing Area (VSA) project since October 2020. World Resources Institute (WRI), the organization behind RADD, has developed a verification protocol to coordinate approaches after receiving alerts. The local Forest Management Unit (FMU or KPH 3) heads the system together with FKL, PUPL, Plantation Agency, and YAKATA. More here.
As of June 2023, the RADD platform is no longer active. Musim Mas now utilizes the Global Forest Watch’s (GFW) Integrated Deforestation Alerts (IDA) which is a combination of GLAD, GLAD-S2 and RADD to supplement deforestation monitoring in our supply chain.
