Forest Types: Kenya, 2000

Description:

This polygon shapefile represents forest types in Kenya. These data were acquired from FAO's Africover dataset (2000). This layer includes data for natural and seminatural forested landscapes such as closed canopy forests and other forest types with more open crown cover. This data was used in Map 1.3 and Map 7.1 in Nature's Benefits in Kenya: An Atlas of Ecosystems and Human Well-Being. Data set is not for use in litigation. While efforts have been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within the state of the art, WRI, cannot assume liability for any damages, or misrepresentations, caused by any inaccuracies in the data, or as a result of the data to be used on a particular system. WRI makes no warranty, expressed or implied, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty.
