SUMMARY
Peat swamp forests of South East Asia have contributed the largest portion of global greenhouse gas emissions, due to causes associated with forest resource extraction, including logging, land conversion to agriculture and fires. Accurate mapping of actual and historical infrastructure in peat swamp forests, in particular illegal roads and canals, is crucial for peat land management planning on hydrological restoration and forest protection activities. However, identifying these features using optical satellite imageries is still problematic, even using high resolution satellite imagery or aerial photos. They are often very narrow and covered by closed-canopy forests. Our study aims at identifying small canals and logging roads in peat swamp forest in Central Kalimantan using discrete airborne lidar
