A new paper published in Nature Sustainability mapped the irrecoverable carbon in earth's ecosystems. It shows how manageable, vulnerable and irrecoverable carbon are distributed among ecosystems. Pea...
In 2020, a group of researchers carried out analysis to examine the importance of Indigenous Peoples’ lands for preserving Intact Forest Landscapes.(Fa et al.2020)They used geospatial data on th...
Humans are dependent on natural resources for a range of benefits. Ecosystems support several functions and services that are fundamental for human populations. Marine ecosystems are critical for huma...
Many studies suggest that inclusive governance plays an important role in delivering social and ecological benefits. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) recognizes four protected...
Marine ecosystems are critical for human society. Coastland communities are highly dependent for many benefits from marine ecosystems such as economic, nutritional and for providing coastal protection...
How much fish do we consume?
Fisheries have a crucial role in feeding the global population. Global seafood consumption has more than doubled in the past 50 years, putting stress on the sustain...
An intact forest landscape (IFL) is a seamless mosaic of forest and naturally treeless ecosystems with no remotely detected signs of human activity and a minimum area of 500 km2. (Potapov et al.2017) ...
''Intact Forest Landscapes (IFLs) are defined as those with an unfragmented area of at least 500 km2 and which are minimally influenced by human economic activity''.(Thies et al. 2011) IFLs are critic...
The CO2 fixed by photosynthesis is one of the most important components of the carbon cycle. Forests play a key role in this process. They represent large and persistent carbon sinks. Tree carbon stoc...
The dataset is the result of a crop simulation and machine learning exercise to evaluate the irrigation potentials in sub-Saharan Africa. Samples of points (representative for each Agro-ecological zon...
This layer shows the percentage of children under 6 months who are exclusively breastfed, meaning they receive only breast milk without any additional food or drink. Exclusive breastfeeding is a key d...
This layer represents the estimated travel time (in hours) by foot to the nearest primary school. The accessibility map is generated using a well-established geospatial methodology that integrates roa...
This layer provides estimates of the percentage of children aged 2 to 10 years (PfPR2–10) with detectable Plasmodium falciparum parasites in 2022. The estimates are generated using geostatistical mode...
This layer represents the estimated travel time (in hours) by foot to the nearest healthcare facility. The underlying methodology is described in Weiss et al. (2020), which leverages major data collec...
