The layer demonstrate both irrigated and rain-fed wheat area cultivation in the country.

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 Sarlahi, Nepal between 2010 and 2013 has been developed using LandSat 8 data in a semi-automated manner as part of the forest cover monitoring system.

Digital polygon dataset of Wetland Habitat ecosystem of Gangaa township-Tibet created using IRS imagery of October 2005.

Digital point dataset of Schools without Drinking Water access of Afghanistan. This dataset is basic vector layer derived from Afghanistan Information Management Systems (AIMS), Afghanistan.

This Layer shows five major water basins (Norther Basin, Hari Rod-Lower, South Eastern Basin, Northern Basin, Helmand Basin and Nondranage areas in Southern part of Afghanistan.

Digital polygon dataset of Students per District population of Afghanistan. This dataset is basic Vector layer derived from Afghanistan Information Management Systems (AIMS), Afghanistan.

Digital polygon dataset of Cultivated land of Afghanistan. This dataset is created using 1:1,000,000 scale map of Afghanistan and derived from Afghanistan Information Management Systems (AIMS), Afghanistan.

The HKH Region Climate data were derived from WorldClim(http://www.worldclim.org/), This map layer shows annual mean temperature for the period of 1950-2000.

The Hindu Kush Himalayan region (HKH) is an important biodiversity hotspot with more than 488 protected areas covering 39% of the region's geographical coverage. A majority of the protected areas are small and isolated and are not large enough to address conservation challenges. Only about 20% of the protected areas are transboundary in nature. There is limited data available on habitat suitability for conservation planning and landscape management in the Far Eastern Himalayan Landscape. A study carried out under the Landscape Initiative for Far Eastern Himalayas (HI-LIFE) Initiative at ICIMOD, estimates habitat suitability for the Clouded Leopard in the Far Eastern Himalayas using remote sensing and geographic information system tools, and available secondary information.
