GNW Self-Hosted Monitoring
Open assets that allow organizations to continue running Post-2020 deforestation risk assessment and recent alert analyses without dependency on the GFW Pro user interface or API. The data is only referenced via analysis scripts, so refer first to the documentation here (https://gfw.atlassian.net/wiki/external/YzlkMTQ0OWY4MzM3NGYxZTljM2M3MmU1NDI5NmQwMDM?apcid=0065c5586ca4ef4dd4f1d401) for setting up and running the scripts.
Oil and gas concessions (v2025)
Boundaries of areas allocated by governments to companies for the exploration of oil, gas, and other hydrocarbons.
Wood fiber concessions (v2025)
Boundaries of areas allocated by governments for tree plantations used in the production of timber and wood pulp to derive paper and paper products.
Logging concessions (v2025)
Boundaries of logging concessions for selective logging of natural forests in select countries.
Oil palm concessions (v2025)
Boundaries of areas allocated by governments to companies for oil palm plantations.
Mining concessions (v2025)
Boundaries of areas allocated by governments to companies for the extraction of minerals.
Annual DIST-Alert Drivers
Identifies the potential conversion of natural land on an annual basis by applying the rule-based Land Disturbance Alert Classification System (LDACS) to DIST-ANN alert data. Classified alerts cover Central and South America, plus Mexico from 2023-2025.
Spatial Database of Planted Trees (SDPT Version 2.1)
A database of planted forests and tree crop boundaries at a near-global scale, with associated carbon removal factors.
Global drivers of forest loss at 1 km resolution - Version 1.3
Global map of the dominant driver of tree cover loss at 0.01° resolution (~1km) for the period 2001-2025. This is the latest update for this dataset.
Forest Carbon Removals
This gross removals layer is part of the forest carbon flux model described in Harris et al. (2021). This paper introduces a geospatial monitoring framework for estimating global forest carbon fluxes which can assist a variety of actors and organizations with tracking greenhouse gas fluxes from forests and in decreasing emissions or increasing removals by forests.
Forest Carbon Emissions
This gross emission layer is part of the forest carbon flux model described in Harris et al. (2021). This paper introduces a geospatial monitoring framework for estimating global forest carbon fluxes which can assist a variety of actors and organizations with tracking greenhouse gas fluxes from forests and in decreasing emissions or increasing removals by forests.
Net Forest Carbon Flux
This net flux layer is part of the forest carbon flux model described in Harris et al. (2021). This paper introduces a geospatial monitoring framework for estimating global forest carbon fluxes which can assist a variety of actors and organizations with tracking greenhouse gas fluxes from forests and in decreasing emissions or increasing removals by forests.
Global drivers of forest loss at 1 km resolution - Version 1.1
Global map of the dominant driver of tree cover loss at 0.01° resolution (~1km) for the period 2001-2023.
Global drivers of forest loss at 1 km resolution - Version 1.0
Global map of the dominant driver of tree cover loss at 0.01° resolution (~1km) for the period 2001-2022. This specific version is the data associated with an original peer reviewed research paper released in 2025.
