The global map of forest types provides a spatially explicit representation
of primary forest, naturally regenerating forest and planted forest (including
plantation forest) for the year 2020 at 10m spatial resolution. The base layer
for mapping these forest types is the extent of forest cover of version 1 of

mapped in GFT 2020.

Data for deriving a harmonized, globally consistent representation of forest
types are scarce, and mapping of the respective forest types from Earth
Observation data is challenging. This map of global forest types is released
as a preliminary version (version 0) for feedback by the user community that
is concerned or interested in the issue of forest degradation under the
EUDR. Based on expected feedback and future additional or improved data
sets, the JRC aims to produce a consolidated map during year 2025.

The global map of forest types v0 combines available global datasets
The global map of forest types v1 combines available global datasets
(wall-to-wall or global in their scope) that indicate or are proxies for the
four main forest types The main data layers that are used to delineate primary
forests in GFT 2020 are:

1. The Forest Landscape Integrity Index in 2019
1. Map of undisturbed tropical mangroves in 2020 and degradation and
deforestation in tropical moist forests from 1990 to 2020 (from JRC-TMF)
1. Deforestation alerts (RADD) up to end of 2020
1. Map of Intact Forest Landscapes 2020
1. World Database on Protected Areas

The main layers to map planted forests (including plantation forests) are:

1. The WRI Spatial Database on Planted Trees (version 2.1)
1. The WRI Spatial Database on Planted Trees (version 3)
1. IIASA Forest Management classes on planted/plantation forest
1. The Global Forest Canopy Height dataset in 2019
1. global tree cover in 2000 and loss from 2001 to 2020.
1. global drivers of forest loss.

The global input layers and mapping approach are described in
[this technical report](https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/e2c286ac-14e9-11f0-b1a3-01aa75ed71a1/language-en).
The global input layers and mapping approach of GFT 2020 version 1 will be
described in a separate technical report, expected to be released by March 2026.

describes the mapping approach for the preliminary version (version 0) of GFT 2020.
