Caution:
  • This data includes both "intact primary forest" and "non-intact primary forest" without differentiation. This means the data includes small primary forest fragments and forest within the reach of human disturbance.
  • This data is based on machine learning models tailored to Brazil, DRC, and Indonesia and also features manual corrections to misidentified plantations and other land uses.
