Google DeepMind releases Forest Typology (ForTy) 2020 global forest type map
Google DeepMind and Google Research jointly release the Forest Typology (ForTy) 2020 Global Map, which classifies every 10x10 meter land on Earth into six types of forests and land use, and tracks changes from 2017 to 2025. The map is based on definitions by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, accurately distinguishing native forests, plantations, monoculture forest plantations, economic crop forests, and other land types, supporting the EU's deforestation regulations with an accuracy of 90%.
