The status and extent of bamboo resources is crucial for evidence-based decision-making and policymaking for sustainable management, conservation, restoration and economic development through the harvesting of bamboo forests. This study proposes a simple and practical approach to mapping bamboo in Southeast Asia using cloud-computing tools, including FAO’s System for Earth Observation Data Access, Processing and Analysis for Land Monitoring and Google Earth Engine. It integrates freely available satellite data, including Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 time-series data, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, and global canopy height datasets. This research establishes a robust framework for bamboo mapping, combining advanced technologies, open-access platforms, and collaborative tools.
