Geo-ForPy - Forest Cover per Protected Area in the Paraguayan Chaco - 2000-2020

This product is a vector file of the protected areas of the Paraguayan Chaco. It contains information on the forest cover within each protected area and a 5, 10, and 15 km buffer zone around these areas, for the years 2000 until 2020. Hence, this product aggregates the information of 21 annual forest maps of the Paraguayan Chaco to the level of protected areas and provides the basis for further analysis as conducted in the following publication: https://doi.org/10.3390/f130100 25

Statement: This data set provides 21 years of forest cover losses in the protected areas and surrounding buffer zones in the Paraguayan Chaco. All information is given in square meter. The forest cover per protected area/buffer zone was derivated from the forest masks (2000 – 2020) which are a product of the Geo-ForPy project.

Description: Processing:

Overlapping buffer zones of two or more protected areas were merged to one common buffer zone. To calculate the forest cover per protected area/buffer zone, the shape file was intersected with the forest areas of the annual forest masks and the area of intersection was calclulated.

Quality Assurance:

The underlying forest masks have overall accuracies between 85% and 97%. Missclassifications directly affect the calculated forest area.
