Who uses this
EUDR compliance specialists and biodiversity analysts use the JRC forest type classification — distinguishing primary, naturally regenerating, and planted forests — to qualify deforestation risk and assess ecological significance. Nature risk teams use planted-versus-natural forest distinctions when scoring biodiversity sensitivity. Carbon project developers use it to determine whether reforestation activity qualifies as afforestation versus forest restoration under voluntary carbon standards.
