MAPOG is a powerful tool that allows you to find and download forest data. You can use this data to create maps, conduct environmental research, or explore different forested regions. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of downloading forest data using MAPOG in various formats.
GIS Data is a specialized type of data that helps you visualize and analyze geographic locations on a map. With MAPOG, you can access GIS data that includes information about forests, allowing you to see where they are located.
Note:
- All data provided by MAPOG is in the GCS datum EPSG:4326 WGS84 Coordinate Reference System (CRS).
- Accessing shapefile downloads requires logging into the platform.
Forest data is vital for many purposes. It aids researchers in studying forest ecosystems, helps conservationists in planning preservation efforts, and supports businesses in forestry management. With MAPOG GIS Data, you can download forest information in a wide range of file types, such as KML, SHP, CSV, GeoJSON, Tab, SQL, Tiff, GML, KMZ, GPKZ, SQLITE, DXF, MIF, TOPOJSON, XLSX, GPX, ODS, MID, and GPS. This versatility allows you to use the data across various programs and devices for different types of analysis and projects.
