Tropical Tree Cover 70 m

This dataset classifies fractional tree cover for the year 2020, with coverage over the tropics at 70 m (0.5 ha) spatial resolution.

Frameworks

EUDR SBTN TNFD CSRD ESRS E4

Use cases

  • EUDR land cover change detection for commodity deforestation risk
  • SBTN natural lands baseline and conversion monitoring
  • Land use change analysis for corporate deforestation commitments
  • Habitat conversion screening across supply chain sourcing areas

Who uses this

Commodity supply chain teams and landscape-scale sustainability analysts use the 70 m fractional tree cover layer to assess canopy density across broad tropical sourcing regions where field-level resolution is not required. ESG data platforms use it to calculate tree cover percentages within sourcing polygons efficiently at scale. TNFD and SBTN practitioners use the fractional coverage as a biodiversity sensitivity proxy across large, aggregated supply chain footprints.
