Last of the Wild Project, Version 1, 2002 (LWP-1): Last of the Wild Dataset (Geographic)
Entry ID:
CIESIN_SEDAC_LWP_LW_GEOG
Summary
Abstract:
The Last of the Wild Dataset of the Last of the Wild Project, Version 1, 2002 (LWP-1) is derived from the LWP-1 Human Footprint Dataset. The gridded data are classified according to their raster value (wild = 0-10; not wild >10). The ten largest polygons of more than 5 square kilometers within each biome by realm are selected and identified. The dataset is produced by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) and is available in the Geographic Coordinate system.
The data in ARC/INFO Export (ARCE) format in the Geographic Coordinate system are available from the NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC). Purpose: To provide a map of wild areas in geographic projection which can be used in wildlife conservation planning, natural resource management, and research on human-environment interactions.
