Description:
The forest cover map is the first comprehensive worldwide view of forests, using a consistent methodology and standard data. The map has a resolution of 1 km and is based on 1992-93 and 1995-96 AVHRR data. Four broad land cover categories are presented following FAO standard classification: closed forest, open/fragmented forest, other wooded land and other land. Due to the coarse source data, the map cannot be used to obtain reliable country forest cover statistics. The final map has been drafted through validation with information/maps based on higher resolution data, e.g. Landsat TM or SPOT images. An accuracy assessment will be carried out in year 2000 to determine the classification accuracy.

This dataset represents points within Fish and Wildlife Service region 3 with 51 to 60% forest cover, based on the FRA 2000.
