Côte d’Ivoire - Degradation

Years available: 2000-2024

Data last updated: 28 Jul 2025

Maps of degraded forest were derived from the European Commission's Joint Research Centre's TMF dataset Version 1 from 2023 (Vancutsem et al., 2021) using 41 years of Landsat time series at 30 metre spatial resolution and aggregated at department level. Forest degradation was defined as a disturbance in the tree cover canopy visible from space over a short time period (< 2.5 years). A 'forest degradation' pixel remains forested land; i.e., covered by existing or regrowing trees, whereas a 'deforestation' pixel leads to the long-term (visible > 2.5 years) conversion into non-forested land (Vancutsem et al., 2021).
