(2025). Forest types of Nepal [Data set]. FRTC. https://doi.org/10.26066/RDS.1973416 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. The dataset has been prepared to provide detailed information about biophysical extent and condition of forest across 753 local levels or municipalities in Nepal, and to support evidence-based decision-making and sustainable forest management in the country. http://rds.icimod.org:8080/geonetwork/srv/api/records/959fc4b4-2c52-4439-b908-e0afae147af4/attachments/ForestType.jpg forest forest type biophysical indicator GEE Google Earth Engine Earth Observation Nepal FRTC ICIMOD Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) 10 eng geoscientificInformation 80.03 88.169 26.344 30.417 ICIMOD 977-1-5275222 metadata@icimod.org
