  1. Choose the country with the globe button in the header (or click a country in the Africa table).
  2. Top tiles: area in the latest year, area in the first year, net change and the average per year.
  3. Area by year chart: Atlas' measurements for each mapped year (green), the authors' official figure (red dashed) and the previous version v3.0 (grey). Lines being parallel means the offset is constant.
  4. Net change between maps: bars show gains (green) and losses (red) between consecutive years.
  5. Every year 1985–2025: the official annual series.
  6. Year-by-year table, and the v3.0 table which also marks years that exist only in v3.
  7. All of Africa table: sort mentally by area or change; click a country to open its page.

Reading tips. Small changes (under 1–2%) are within mapping uncertainty. Net change can hide gains and losses.
