Tree canopy cover for year 2000

The Global Forest Cover data set is a collaboration between the GLAD (Global Land Analysis & Discovery) lab at the University of Maryland, Google, USGS, and NASA, and shows the percent tree cover (0-100) in year 2000 for all global land areas (outside of the polar regions) at 30 × 30 meter resolution. Tree cover in the year 2000, defined as canopy closure for all vegetation taller than 5m in height. Encoded as a percentage per output grid cell, in the range 0–100. The data is derived from analysing over 600,000 multispectral Landsat 7 EMT+ satellite images in Google Earth Engine.
