Abstract
We disagree strongly with the suggestion by Jim Lynch and colleagues that the outputs of the Global Observation of Forest and Land Cover Dynamics panel and the Global Forest Observations Initiative “lack ambition and an understanding of the potential of satellites” (Nature 496, 293–294; 2013).
