AFRICAN DATA DRIVE
The Future Ecosystems for Africa African Data Drive is a collaborative initiative aimed at advancing our thinking around sustainable development in Africa through robust data integration and innovative scenario planning. Building on Hayley Clemens’ BII we are building biodiversity datasets on plants, birds and amphibians and collating spatial information on future development risks for the continent to produce a spatial tool to identify high value areas that need to be prioritised in spatial planning activities. The Beta-version is up and running, and we welcome feedback and ideas about how to use it in different contexts on the continent.

Dataset of individual fires in Africa and their traits (size, intensity, time since last fire, season)
A standardised metric for quantifying pyrodiversity and exploring how environmental conditions and human activities shape pyrodiversity across Africa, and how this changes with spatial grain.

Dataset that records the number of times a 500 x 500m pixel has burned in the last 19 years (2000-2019)
Use the "inspector" tab to have a look at particular pixels of interest, and you can also change from map to satellite view by clicking the tabs on the top right of the image.
