This document accompanies a series of tutorials which have been used to build capacity in a number of countries to produce datasets and maps relevant to their spatial planning for REDD+, and to develop such map products (see bit.ly/gistools-redd). Maps developed using these approaches appear in a number of publications whose aim is to support planning of strategy options that enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services as well as delivering climate change mitigation (see http://bit.ly/mbs-redd for country materials).
