Description:
This dataset depicts forest fragmentation in central Africa by roads (excluding roads). This study, or Pilot Analysis of Global Ecosystems (PAGE), examines forest ecosystems of the world using a large collection of spatial and temporal data. This study analyzes datasets at the global, national, and subnational levels, and draws on published and unpublished scientific studies. It develops selected indicators that describe the condition of the world's forests, where condition is defined as the current and future capacity of forests to provide the full range of goods and services that humans need and consume.
