Indicator: Deforestation

Indicator

Deforestation

Status

Automated on Landler

Land covers

Built Environment, Cropland, Forestry, Grassland, Peatland, Savannah

Description

Amount of deforestation in a Plot since 2020.

Unit

Hectares

Temporal Resolution

Annual Assessment

Spatial Resolution

10m

Data

Forest cover loss data (GLAD), Global Forest Cover 2020 baseline (JRC).

Method

Deforestation detection is conducted using satellite imagery that tracks changes in forest cover since 2020. This involves analyzing “lossyear” data layer from the Global Forest Change 2000-2023 data (Hansen-UMD data) and cross-referencing it with Global Forest Cover 2020 data to quantify deforestation in specified plots. 2020 is chosen as the baseline year to conform to EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
