  • This map represents outbreaks of HPAI reported from 1st Jabuary to 7th of June 2006. The original data have been collected and aggregated at the most detailed administrative level and for the units available for each contry. NOTE: FAO compiles information from numerous sources (FAO, OIE, Official governamental sources, EC, Reference Laboratories and others) and cannot garantee the veracity of all the information given. The map will be updated as soon as additional information becomes available.

  • The 2015 Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA2015) continues the tradition of seeking to describe the world’s forests – a tradition that began in 1948. The world’s forest 2010 map is a raster product with a pixel size of 250 meters by 250 meters. It was prepared with the following geospatial layers : - Forest cover data from the Vegetation Continuous Fields product (VCF) derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor, on-board the Terra and Aqua satellites (Earth Observation System, NASA) with a 250 m spatial resolution (Hansen et al., 2003). - Water data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM, NASA) Water Body Data at 250 m spatial resolution in combination with the MODIS global water mask (Carroll et al., 2009). - Elevation data from the SRTM at 1 km resolution, down-sampled to the 10 million scale. - Country boundaries and coastlines from the Global Administrative Unit Layer (GAUL, 2008) of the FAO. - Global ecological zones (FAO, 2012) References: - Hansen, M., R.
