The ID-RECCO v5.0 database contains updates from October 2022. The 2022 update team consists of myself (Stibniati Atmadja) as overall coordinator, Mella Komalasari, assistant coordinator, and three excellent research assistants (interns and consultants) selected from more than 100 applicants across the world. Our research assistants will be working with us for three months each, starting July 2022. In 2023, we added a new team member, who is a master’s student at ETH Zurich.

	Rowan Alumasa Alusiola is a master’s student in Environmental Science at the University of Koblenz-Landau Germany and an associate fellow at the Peace Academy Rhineland-Palatinate. She is also an alumnus of Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship for International Climate Protection. She has 10 years of practical work experience in developing, managing, and monitoring programs and policies in the East Africa Region as an Environmental Specialist. She has published on REDD+ conflict and Funding trends for forest conservation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Country of origin: Kenya
	Igor Barboza is a MSc. student based in Spain at the moment. He has an undergraduate degree in Geology from University of Sao Paolo. He is developing his master’s degree in tropical forestry management at the Technical University of Dresden. He is interested in The nexus between ecological economy, particularly ecosystem services, carbon markets, and ESG assessments on the risk of deforestation across supply chains. His master thesis will assess the economic impact and potential of ecotourism in the Brazilian Pantanal, the largest wetland in the world, where private smallholders have great capacity and opportunity to both steward the biome and seize the economic benefits it provides. Being part of the ID-RECCO team has been proved so far as a great experience and exercise to understand the fast-growing voluntary carbon market initiatives investing in forest conservation and restoration worldwide.

	Lia Sartika is a remote sensing and GIS expert for natural resources management and carbon development projects. Lia worked in a Dutch company SarVision as a Project Engineer, where she does research, development, and implementation of operational services in forestry, crop monitoring, and carbon development using radar image time series, field survey data and optical imageries. She supported the spatial modelling on ecosystem services valuation in the UNDP-KALFOR Join Project, which helps local stakeholders identify the potential of environmental services in their region and optimize economic and environmental benefits. She holds a Master of Science from Wageningen University and Research and has a background in ecology and earth observation. Her graduate research was on improving the detection of Sago Palm on peatlands in Kalimantan, Indonesia by combining SAR Remote Sensing and Optical imageries. She is keen to cycle, do nature walks, travel and listen to podcasts and Ghibli music. Country of origin: Indonesia
