The eDNA data allow computation of a wide range of the essential biodiversity variables, and open data reporting mechanisms are already in place.

Tools such as eDNA sampling and metabarcoding have the potential to speed up detection and response but suffer from a lack of standardised protocols and are limited by current global databases.

An umbrella concept such as ‘forest’ allows different stakeholders to interpret the term as they like. The intricacies of forest definitions in a natural–managed–transformed–reconstructed tree cover continuum need to be recognized when the term forest is used legally. By misclassifying agroforestry systems as forest, the EUDR maps cause collateral (unintended) damage to an otherwise desirable land use and a vulnerable stakeholder group.
