Description: This layer represents the boundaries of public forests managed by the State (Forest Management Units) or by the communes (Communal Forests). The data of this layer are updated continuously according to the availability of the new official documents namely the public notices and the decrees of classification and the decrees of allocation of which the descriptions are made based on the topographic maps Scale of 1: 200 000. The quality of these data may vary according to the polygons.

Description: These data present community forests. They are part of the provisions of the forestry law of 1994 to facilitate the participation of local communities in the sustainable and equitable management of natural resources and their access to the socio-economic benefits of these resources. They are allocated in the non-permanent domain and managed by the communities and can measure up to 5000 hectares. The data for this layer are updated continuously according to the availability of new official documents, namely provisional management agreements and simple management plans and definitive management agreements, the descriptions of which are based on topographic maps (INC ) to The most recent data are from 2013. Nevertheless, it is important to note that the quality of these data may vary depending on the source. This layer does not guarantee the full presence of any community forests present in the country and the location of certain community forests may be imprecise.

Description: Protected areas are characterized as geographical areas for the conservation of flora and fauna biodiversity. They are managed by the State and include national parks, forest and wildlife reserves, and sanctuaries of fauna and flora. The main difference between national parks and forest and wildlife reserves is that parks are developed to facilitate visits by tourists while reserves are only accessible to specialists working there. Data from this layer is produced by MINFOF and WRI with support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Norwegian Ministry of Environment and the Department for International Development of Great Britain (DFID ). Software contributions come from the support of ESRI and Erdas. This layer is continuously updated, according to the availability of new official documents; Namely public notices and creation decrees, the descriptions of which are based on topographical maps (INC ) on the scale of 1: 200,000.

Description: Limits of geographical spaces consisting of natural forests or reforestation areas reserved for conservation, research, or production functions. This layer includes integral ecological reserves, recreational forests, production reserves, and teaching and research forests. The data of this layer are updated continuously according to the availability of the new official documents, namely the notices to the public and the edges of creation whose descriptions are made based on topographic maps (INC) at the scale of 1: 200 000. Nevertheless, the lack of information on forest reserves at the level of MINFOF makes their follow-up difficult.

Description: Hunting areas are areas for the conservation and exploitation of wildlife, in which hunting, tourism, recreational or scientific activities are organized. These boundaries of hunting areas assigned to private companies are divided into two categories: hunting areas (ZICs) and hunting areas with community management (ZIGC) managed by village communities for the sustainable management of wildlife resources. This information layer contains the name, reference code, location, manager and purpose of each hunting area. They are continually updated according to the availability of new official documents, namely public notices and creation orders, the descriptions of which are based on topographic maps (INC ) at a scale of 1: 200,000.

Description: Limits of allocated spaces for industrial agricultural production. These spaces are generally leases managed by national companies or international subsidiaries. These include CDC, SOCAPALM, SAFACAM, PAMOL, HEVECAM, SUDCAM and SOSUCAM. The data (containing only the geographical limits) resulting from the decrees are precise and correspond to the limits of the concession. The lack of access within the Ministry of Agriculture to spatial data and official documentary information on agro-industrial zones makes mapping and monitoring of these areas difficult. Most of the agro-industrial areas incorporated into this layer were mapped from satellite imagery in conjunction with a field audit to determine crop types and the identity of operating companies. Geographic boundaries should be considered as estimates given relative access to official documentation, the Atlas team.
