The dataset on forest types of Nepal for 2022 is jointly developed by the Forest Research and Training Centre (FRTC) and International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) with financial support from the World Bank under the "Sub-National Biophysical Forest Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management and Revenue Sharing in Nepal" project. The dataset has been prepared using freely available remote-sensing data (Sentinel 2) and a cloud-based machine learning algorithm in the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, field sampling methods, and extensive stakeholder consultations.
