Forest loss of Bandarban, Bangladesh between 2010 and 2013

The past few decades have seen high levels of deforestation and forest degradation in the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region. In this context, under SERVIR Himalaya programme, ICIMOD has developed forest cover monitoring system to identify forest change hotspot areas which need critical forest management attention in four pilot areas. This forest loss data of Bandarban, Bangladesh between 2010 and 2013 has been developed using LandSat 8 data in a semi-automated manner as part of the forest cover monitoring system.

过去数十年来，兴都库什-喜马拉雅（Hindu Kush Himalayan, HKH）地区经历了高强度的森林砍伐与森林退化。在此背景下，依托SERVIR喜马拉雅项目框架，国际山地综合发展中心（International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, ICIMOD）开发了森林覆盖监测系统，用于识别四个试点区域内亟需重点开展森林管理工作的森林变化热点区域。本数据集作为该监测系统的组成部分，采用半自动化流程基于陆地卫星8号（LandSat 8）数据，生成了2010年至2013年间孟加拉国班达巴尔地区的森林损失数据。
