Google DeepMind releases ForTy, a 10-meter global map of forest types
Google DeepMind and Google Research, with WRI and IIASA, released Forest Typology (ForTy) 2020, a global map that sorts every 10-by-10-meter patch of land into six forest and land-use types based on FAO definitions. An early time series tracks yearly changes from 2017 to 2025, including where natural forest was replaced by plantations or farms.
