To assess the extent of forest cover loss in the coastal zone of West Africa.
The decision to use forest loss rather than the balance of forest loss and forest gain for the West Africa Coastal Vulnerability Mapping project was based on the assumption that forest gain is more likely to be human managed or plantation forests, while forest loss is more likely to reflect losses in natural tree cover.
This study entails sea level rise, country name, total forest cover, total bare land in ha, coastal area name and the extent of coastal area vulnerability.
