Natural Forest Cover Change in Indonesia (1985-1997)

Entry ID: ID_Defor

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This dataset provides a GIS map coverage of forest cover change in
Indonesia from 1985-1997.

The two forest cover grids (UNEP-WCMD, 1996, and GOI/World Bank,
2000) were overlaid to highlight forest areas lost since 1985. "No
data" areas are identified. In addition, some areas are classified as
"forest" in the World Bank dataset and also classified in the NFi
dataset as industrial timber plantations or estate crop
plantations. We identify these areas as "Reported as plantations:
status unknown." Given the lack of ground truthing in the World Bank
dataset, the areas are probably plantations.
