<p>Results from this article have been updated for the periods 2010-2015 and 2015-2017 (<code>update_2017.pdf</code>).</p>

<p>This repository includes Madagascar forest cover (<code>forXXXX‧tif</code>), forest density (<code>fordensXXXX‧tif</code>), distance to forest edge (<code>dist_edge_XXXX‧tif</code>) and forest fragmentation index (<code>fragXXXX‧tif</code>) for the years 1953, 1973, 1990, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2017. Data are available as GeoTIFF raster files at 30m resolution in the UTM 38S projection (EPSG:32738).</p>
