Hatched / dashed = estimated (before VIIRS): MODIS × province×month ratio, a baseline, not a model.
Forest-loss fire = detection on forest (tree cover 2000 ≥ 30 %) lost in the same or the next year (Hansen). This includes forest destroyed by the fire itself; it is not proof of land clearing. Hansen loss also covers plantation harvest; same-year timing cannot order fire and loss; MODIS misses small fires, so compare sensors from 2012. Clearing fire = a fire on forest that is later converted to plantation: shown as “followed by oil palm” (Descals planting year after the fire). Recent years cannot be judged yet: oil palm planting data ends in 2021.
Click a province to select it. Forest loss is for the selected year; oil palm is planted area up to that year.
