FAO Africover Landcover - 2000

The land cover has been produced from visual interpretation of digitally enhanced LANDSAT TM images (Bands 4,3,2) acquired mainly in the year 1995 - 1998. The land cover classes have been developed using the FAO/UNEP international standard LCCS classification system. The purpose of the Africover landcover database is to provide the information required for natural resource assessment and management, environmental modeling and decision-making. The LCCS legend for the country, a list of the LCCS classifiers used in the interpretation, LCCS glossary of terms, a list of thematic classes and their frequency in a mixed unit, and a report on the frequency and scale adequacy, can be found in the full resolution landcover database report found in the same folder as the dataset. FAO Project code GCP/RAF/287/ITA
