This 100 meter spatial resolution land cover resource is published by Buchhorn
et al. (2020) "Copernicus Global Land Cover Layers—Collection 2". The resource
represents the actual surface cover of ground available annually for the period
2015 to 2019. The cell values range from 0 to 200, representing total of 23
discrete classifications from ESA.

resource

Biodiversity areas, especially primary forest, serve a
multitude of functions for local economy, regional functionality of
the ecosystems as well as the global health of our planet. Recently,
adverse changes in human land use practices and climatic responses to
increased greenhouse gas emissions, put these biodiversity areas under
a variety of different threats. The present package helps to analyse a
number of biodiversity indicators based on freely available
geographical datasets. It supports computational efficient routines
that allow the analysis of potentially global biodiversity portfolios.
The primary use case of the package is to support evidence based
reporting of an organization's effort to protect biodiversity areas
under threat and to identify regions were intervention is most duly
needed.
