Note: Pathfinder is a U.S. multiagency project that uses high-resolution landsat data to map the world's tropical forests at three dates: 1973, 1985, and 1993. The 1973 and 1985 assessments used 57-m pixel Landsat Multi-spectral Scanner data. The 1993 assessment, which uses 30-m pixel Landsat Thematic Mapper data, is not complete.
