- Additional information
- The article quantifies tropical deforestation and forest degradation at different geographical scales during two time periods covering a total of 15 years. Its significance lies in undertaking these analyses using Landsat temporal data nationwide in a country of high biodiversity and conservation importance. Governmental and environmental organisations are now recognising the need for a balanced approach in conservation initiatives in Tropical countries.
