Method:
Areas of deforestation were delineated using GIS software from satellite imagery using standardised procedures by the LUCAS team at MfE. These areas were intersected with a Territorial Authority (TA) boundaries layer to determine which deforestation polygons intersect each TA region. Total area deforested was calculated for each TA unit and a percentage of the TA was calculated.
