Key Landscapes for Conservation borders 2015-2017 (vector) - version 1, Feb. 2023
This metadata refers to the Land Cover vector data generated over Key Landscape for Conservation areas (KLC) (Africa, Indonesia and Caribbean) in the framework of the Copernicus Global Land Hot Spot Mapping (C-GL-HSM) contract under the coordination of JRC.
The High Resolution Hot Spot Monitoring activity is providing detailed land information on specific areas of interest, answering to ad-hoc requests. It concentrates mainly on the domain of the sustainable management of natural resources, with an initial focus on Protected Areas (PA) or Key Landscapes for Conservation (KLC).
The KLC included in the dataset are the following:
Caribbean (CAR_01)
Comoe-Mole (WAF_05)
Cross River-Takamanda-Mt Cameroon-Korup (CAF_01)
Garamba-Lantoto-Bili-Uere-Chinko-Southern (CAF_05)
Great Limpopo (SAF_02)
Grand Virunga (CAF_02)
Kundelungu-Upemba (CAF_11)
Lomami (CAF_15)
Luangwa (SAF_14_15)
Madagascar Forests (SAF_21)
Manovo-Gounda-St Floris-Bamingui (CAF_06)
Mbam Djerem (CAF_16)
Niassa-Selous (EAF_04)
Salonga (CAF_07)
Tai-Sapo (WAF_10)
Timor Leste (PAC_01)
WAPOK (WAF_04)

The Copernicus component is governed by Regulation (EU) No 2021/696 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 April 2021 establishing the Union Space Programme and the European Union Agency for the Space Programme and repealing Regulations (EU) No 912/2010, (EU) No 1285/2013 and (EU) No 377/2014 and Decision No 541/2014/EU. Within the Copernicus component, a portfolio of land monitoring activities has been delegated by the European Union to the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the DG Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.
The Copernicus land monitoring products and services are made available on a principle of full, open and free access, as established by the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1159/2013 of 12 July 2013.
Free, full and open access to the products and services of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service is made on the conditions that:
1. When distributing or communicating Copernicus Land Monitoring Service products and services (data, software scripts, web services, user and methodological documentation and similar) to the public, users shall inform the public of the source of these products and services.
2. Where the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service products and services have been adapted or modified by the user, the user shall clearly state this.
3. Users shall make sure not to convey the impression to the public that the user's activities are officially endorsed by the European Union.

The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA 2019) has been used in the Copernicus Global Land Hot Spot mapping (C-GL-HSM) contract under the coordination of JRC to obtain statistics on land cover changes inside and outside the protected areas.
To see how much of the Key Landscapes for Conservation area is a Protected Area, consult the WMS service found at the Service section of this metadata.

e-GEOS Production Site produced this product by satellite analyses in the context of the Copernicus Global land Hot Spot Mapping (C-GL-HSM) framework.
Data and products to which the KLC borders refer are based on medium to high and very high resolution satellite images (from approximately 1 to 30m spatial resolution) with a change assessment frequency between 1 to 20 years. The Image data sources used for mapping are Landsat 7 and 8. The validation process made use of Spot-6 and Sentinel-2 images as reference data.
