About this dataset

This data layer shows the boundaries of agro-industrial zones, where oil palm and rubber tree plantations, as well as other crops, may be established. In Cameroon, industrial agriculture falls outside of the National Forest Estate. Agricultural plantations are allocated by the Ministry of Economy and Planning to private entities under long-term, renewable contracts, which are then monitored by the Ministry of Agriculture. The agro-industrial data set was mapped using satellite imagery, with ground-truthing to determine the crop type and operating company. This data layer shows the boundaries of agro-industrial zones, where oil palm and rubber tree plantations, as well as other crops, may be established.

Documentation

Official documentation was often lacking, so boundaries should be considered approximate and non-exhaustive.

Oil palm concessions

“Oil palm concession” refers to an area allocated by a government or other body for industrial-scale oil palm plantations. This data set displays oil palm concessions as a single layer assembled by aggregating concession data for multiple countries. The data may come from government agencies, NGOs, or other organizations and varies by date and data sources. Only active or available concessions are included in this layer. Inactive or expired concessions are excluded as defined by the dataset source. As available, additional data source information is linked below: - Cambodia - Cameroon - Democratic Republic of the Congo - Malaysia  If you are aware of concession data for additional countries, please email us [here](mailto:gnw@wri.org). Displays boundaries of areas allocated by governments to companies for oil palm plantations.

Agriculture-Linked Deforestation

This data set estimates agriculture-linked deforestation for oil palm, soy, cattle, cocoa and coffee annually for the years 2001-2015. While agriculture is generally recognized to be a major driver of deforestation, few studies have attempted to estimate the role that particular commodities play in global deforestation, and even fewer have been spatially explicit. In this analysis, we estimate the extent to which these commodities are replacing forests and map their impacts using the best available spatially explicit data. We report results globally at the second administrative level (e.g., county, municipality, or other administrative subdivision, depending on the country). To identify the specific commodities that have replaced forested land, we analyzed the overlap of current commodity extent with global annual tree cover loss from 2001 to 2018. We used recent, detailed crop maps for global oil palm and South American soy and supplemented with coarser resolution global data where needed for the other commodities and regions. Provides annual agriculture-linked deforestation estimates for oil palm, soy, cattle, cocoa and coffee for the years 2001-2015 by administrative boundary
