    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;If you use this dataset, please refer to our work:&lt;strong&gt; Depicker, A., Jacobs, L., Mboga, N.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;et al.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;Historical dynamics of landslide risk from population and forest-cover changes in the Kivu Rift.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Nat Sustain&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;(2021). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41893-021-00757-9&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This .tif file represents the forest cover in the Kivu Rift in 1958, covering parts of the eastern DRC, western Rwanda, and western Burundi. 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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The data range from 0 to 1, representing the % of forest cover. Data smaller than 0 can be considered NoData values.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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&amp;#39; (http://pasteca.africamuseum.be/).&lt;/p&gt;</description>
