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 in Interrupted Goode Homolosine Projection (IGHP) is produced by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).To provide an updated map of wild areas in Interrupted Goode Homolosine Projection which can be used for wildlife conservation planning, natural resource management, and research on human-environment interactions.To reproduce this dataset, the following steps are recommended: 1) Classify the Human Footprint grid according to raster value (wild = 0-10; not wild >10). 2) Eliminate all polygons <5 square kilometers.
Changes from the LWP 2002 to LWP 2005 include the following: 1) The populated and USGS urban polygons layers are replaced by CIESIN Global Rural Urban Mapping Project (GRUMP) urban extent layer. 2) The USGS Global land Cover Characteristics layer is replaced with EU Joint Research Centre Global Land Cover 2000 dataset. 3) The roads layer is updated using Latin America and Carribean Roads data compiled by Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT). Africa roads are updated from compilation of Africa roads data by Andy Nelson.1995010120041231publication dateAs needed-16139650.00000019600350.0000008849527.000000-6815472.000000ISO TopicBiotaEnvironmentImagery/Base Maps/Earth CoverPlanning/CadastreData GranularityGlobalSEDAC ThemeConservationLand UseRemote SensingSustainabilityGCMD Science Keywords, Version 8.6EARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > LAND USE/LAND COVEREARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > ANTHROPOGENIC/HUMAN INFLUENCED ECOSYSTEMSCIESIN Location Terms, Version 3.1GlobalNoneThe Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York hold the copyright of this dataset.
