The forest data was derived from 1 m resolution panchromatic historical aerial photographs (conserved at the Royal Museum for Central Africa) and resampled to a 30 m resolution.</p>\n\n<p>The data range from 0 to 1, representing the % of forest cover. Data smaller than 0 can be considered NoData values.</p>\n\n<p>This work was funded by the Belgian Science Policy Office (BELSPO) through the PAStECA project (BR/165/A3/PASTECA) entitled `Historical Aerial Photographs and Archives to Assess Environmental Changes in Central Africa&#39; (http://pasteca.africamuseum.be/).</p>",
