Interactive Forest Atlas of Cameroon (version 3.0)

Version 3.0 of the Interactive Forest Atlas provides users with more complete and up-to-date information on the Cameroon forest sector – timber extraction areas, forest concession management plan status, volume of timber logged by concession area, and more. One of its main objectives is to strengthen forest management and land use planning by bringing all major land use categories onto the same standardized platform.

This map shows the change in protected areas in Cameroon between 1995 and 2008.

The Interactive Forest Atlas is both an information management tool and an aid to decision makers working to support the sustainable use of forest resources in Cameroon.

L’Atlas Forestier Interactif est à la fois un outil de gestion de l’information et d’aide à la décision en appui à une gestion durable des ressources forestières au Cameroun.

Restoring functionality and productive capacity to forests and landscapes in order to provide food, fuel, and fiber, improve livelihoods, store carbon, improve adaptive capacity, conserve biodiversity, prevent erosion and improve water supply.

This map identifies the hotspots where urban and suburban development are putting forests at risk in the southern United States.

Last year, in an effort to make our climate data more accessible, WRI launched a pilot that paired estimates of U.S. state greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from our Climate Analysis Indicators Tool (CAIT) with the Google Public Data Explorer, a tool that visualizes large data sets with interactive charts and maps.

New research shows that Africa offers some of the greatest opportunities globally for restoring forests.
