Reference Land Cover Change in Timor Leste 2010-2016 (vector) - version 1, June 2020

This metadata refers to the Land Cover Change vector data generated over Timor Leste or East Timor (Southeast Asian) in the framework of the Copernicus Global Land Hot Spot Mapping (C-GL-HSM) contract under the coordination of JRC. This area of interest is either mapped with the generic 8 classes dichotomus legend (PAC_01_lcc_a) or the detailed modular legend (PAC_01_lcc_b).

The mapped area of interest (AOI) represents a Key Landscape for Conservation area (KLC). Timor Leste represent the eastern part of the Timor Island, located in between southeast Asia and Oceania and is part of maritime southeast Asia. The country has a size of about 15,000 km² and is among the five newest countries in the World, gaining independence from Indonesia in 2002.

The geography is characterised by a predominantly mountainous landscape (with the highest peak reaching nearly 3000 m) and the climate is tropical and generally hot and humid. According to Protected Planet, the country has 46 protected areas from which only one represents a National Park. The Nino Konis Santana National Park, Timor Leste’s first National Park, was established in 2008 and covers the entire eastern end of the island and has a size of 716 km².

本元数据对应于在联合研究中心（JRC）协调下，依据哥白尼全球陆地热点制图（Copernicus Global Land Hot Spot Mapping, C-GL-HSM）合同生成的东帝汶（东南亚地区）土地覆盖变化矢量数据。该研究关注区域（Area of Interest, AOI）采用通用8类二分图例（PAC_01_lcc_a）或详细模块化图例（PAC_01_lcc_b）进行制图。

该制图关注区域属于关键保护景观区（Key Landscape for Conservation, KLC）。东帝汶地处东南亚与大洋洲之间，为帝汶岛东部区域，隶属于海洋东南亚范畴，国土面积约15000平方千米，是全球五个最新独立国家之一，于2002年从印度尼西亚独立。

该国地理以山地地貌为主，最高峰海拔近3000米，气候为热带气候，整体炎热湿润。根据保护星球（Protected Planet）数据，该国共有46个保护区，其中仅一处为国家公园。东帝汶首个国家公园——尼诺·科尼斯·桑塔纳国家公园（Nino Konis Santana National Park）于2008年设立，覆盖帝汶岛东端全域，面积达716平方千米。
