FACET-Forest Classification (DR Congo - 60 m)
The dataset is based on the "Atlas of forest cover and change 2000-2010 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo”, produced as a part of the OSFAC initiative “Monitoring the forests of Central Africa using remotely sensed data sets” (FACET in French).
The FACET forest classification provides a thematic simple map of relatively few forest cover types. Mapping the occurrence and type of forest cover change is the first step in identifying and analyzing the drivers of deforestation such as agriculture, logging and charcoal production.
