Data sources This database was initially produced for the UNEP/GRID-WRI-NCGIA Africa Population Database. See the GRID-Sioux Falls web site at http://grid2.cr.usgs.gov The 1980 and 1990 estimates produced for this database were used to produce the P95E estimate. Pop data sources: Only two polygons representing Mahe and Praslin Islands for which separate population figures were available in the 1973 and 1988 UN Demographic Yearbooks for 1971 and 1977. By far the largest part of the population lives on Mahe Island. The total country population from the UN World Population Prospects was split to the two islands using the proportions of 1971 for P60 and P70 and those for 1977 for P80 and P90.
