The goal is to develop a semi-automated alert system for land cover change detection in and around tropical forests WH sites using a multi-sensor processing chain. This is demonstrated on 3 out of 15 sites to be processed in order to answer the following questions : • How did the site inscription affect land cover in the selected sites and in the buffer zone ? • Are the site boundaries consistent with the observed land cover ?
