How Atlas organises data into themes

Every layer is filed under a theme with its own colour and icon, so you can browse, filter and map by topic.

Beginner 1 min read themesdatasetsbrowse

Open Browse by Theme (Data menu). Each card shows how many datasets and features the theme holds for the country you are working in, its biggest layers and a link to all of them.

The themes

  • Mangroves, Coastal forests, Restoration sites, Biodiversity: ecosystem and species layers.
  • Protected areas & landscapes: parks, reserves, conservancies and priority landscapes.
  • Water & catchments: rivers, lakes, basins and irrigation.
  • Roads, rail & infrastructure: transport, power, ports, corridors and development projects.
  • People & settlements and Farming & livelihoods: villages, towns, population, crops, rangelands and fisheries.
  • Wildlife & habitats, Fire & climate, Land use & land cover.
  • Mining, oil & licences, Surveys & field data, Boundaries & reference.
  • Carbon projects and Community projects: registry-based and community-led initiatives.

Using themes. On the Datasets page, click a theme chip to filter. On the Explore Map, layers are grouped and coloured by theme, and the legend shows the themes switched on. Themes are assigned by rules from each layer's name and origin, so a few layers can sit in a neighbouring theme; tell us and we will correct it.

Limits. Theme assignment is rule-based and can be wrong for ambiguous layer names.
