English term or phrase: orthodox means
Satellites can help in more accurate mapping of forests, detection and quantification of forest dynamics such as loss and degradation, *not necessarily because their accuracy is self-evident but because they can be more cost-effective, given acceptable accuracy levels, than orthodox means*

Je trouve la phrase assez alambiquée et à première vue, je ne comprend pas cet orthodox ici (ne manque-t'il pas un "less orthodox" ? Merci !

Plus de contexte (paragraphe précédent) :

Satellites have and continue to help in managing forests as a unique source of information. However their actual usefulness in managing and protecting forests is over-sold
