Forests are important plant communities that consist of trees and other woody vegetation that performs life-supporting functions on Earth. This chapter presents the application concepts necessary to link remote sensing data and geographic information system to conservation, restoration, and sustainable management of tropical forests. Despite the rising global concern, there is still continuous destruction of tropical forests at an alarming rate. This chapter assessed various approaches for conservation, restoration, and sustainable management of tropical forests using remote sensed data and geographic information system. This involves their applications to biodiversity conservation, forest ecophysiology, forest trees' disease and insect interactions, forest mensuration, forest resources monitoring and evaluation, forest fires, land use and land cover dynamics, and vegetation cover.
