Description
This data repository contains the data results used to analyse how deforestation dynamics relate to areas of woodland protection and to conservation priorities across the world's tropical dry woodlands. We do this for the period of 2000 to 2020, at 10-km spatial resolution (Coordinate System: WGS_1984_Mollweide, float format) following Buchadas et al. (2022) methods available in https://doi.org/10.1038/s41893-022-00886-9. Datasets used for this analysis are generally publicly available, forest cover and loss data are available at: https://data.globalforestwatch.org/. The data on protected areas is available at https://www.protectedplanet.net/. The global conservation priority layers have been made openly available as part of Jung et al. (2021) at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5006332. The map of Indigenous Peoples' Lands can be obtained from the authors on reasonable request (Garnett et al. 2018). The data are not publicly available due to privacy or ethical restrictions. Thus we refrain from sharing the primary data that includes it, here.
Further details of the datasets can be found in Buchadas et. al. (2023)
