This paper considers how forest monitoring can inform
problem-solving, especially on public policy. To examine the
factors that determine whether or not forest monitoring results
inform problem-solving efforts, a set of positive cases was
selected, including Viet Nam and its forest transition in the early
1990s, to accelerate agricultural transition and expand a forest
industry, and Cameroon, where important steps were taken to reform
the forest concessions regime in the 1990s and 2000s.The adoption
of the Sustainable Development Goals has reinforced the importance
of science-policy linkages. In the forestry sector, efforts to
reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+)
have created opportunities for forest monitoring capacity
development over the past decade, which can further support forest
management and domestic policy-making in addition to international
reporting.The cases examined in this paper show that diverse types
of data and analysis on forests contributed to informing both
public policy and corporate activities. Information was tailored to
the issues at hand and to those involved in decision-making, with
operational decision-making using locally specific data, collected
and analysed in a timely manner. Thematically rich datasets became
the basis for detailed analysis - including through modelling - to
identify solutions, and the data and analysis underpinned clear and
intuitive messaging to place issues on the agenda of policy-makers
