Verify EUDR v1.09 introduces important enhancements focused on annual monitoring, expanded protected areas mapping, and clearer risk logic.
1. Deforestation map annual updates: rolling deforestation activity monitoring
A large group of countries will now benefit from the latest annual data updates, providing more reliable deforestation intelligence to deliver higher confidence for due diligence and compliance assessments.*
2. Protected areas: enhanced global coverage
The following countries have been upgraded/updated with IBAT: Kenya, Uganda, Peru, Colombia, Indonesia, Rwanda, Honduras, Guatemala, Brazil, Cameroon, Ecuador, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Vietnam.
IBAT map versions are now referenced in the documentation, supporting more transparent validation of protected area boundaries for compliance workflows.
3. Methodology updates: more actionable risk scoring
Updates to ATC03 (“inconsistent farmer names”) and GEC09 (“farm plot too distant from plots with same farmer ID”) refine the underlying logic:
- Risk scores will now produce “low” risk, where previously undetermined (NA) results occurred
- This provides you with clearer triage pathways and more transparent, actionable feedback
