The Forest Typology (ForTy) 2020 release presents a global, 10‑meter resolution map that classifies each 10×10 m land cell into six forest or land‑use types—including natural forests, timber plantations, and tree‑crop farms—and provides an annual time series from 2017 to 2025. Created by Google DeepMind, Google Research, the World Resources Institute, and IIASA, this data set gives year‑by‑year detail on shifts between forest types, enabling assessment of conservation effectiveness and deforestation impacts for policy frameworks such as the EU’s deforestation regulation.
