Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions people ask most.

Beginner 1 min read FAQhelpquestions

Is Atlas a forecast tool? No. It measures and explains; scenarios are what-ifs.

Why is the Lamu data only for 2019? It is a single detailed map from WWF Kenya, KMFRI and KFS. The Global Mangrove Watch maps give the time series.

Why do totals differ from the official ones? A constant 2.3%: see Why Atlas totals are 2.3% higher than the official figures.

Can I trust small changes? Not under about 1–2%; the maps are 30 m.

Why is my country missing? It may have no mangrove, or data is not loaded yet; use Request data on its profile.

Can I download the data? Institutional admins can; members can request that access.

Does Atlas need the internet to show data? The data is stored on Atlas' own server; only the map background uses OpenStreetMap.

Who is behind Atlas? It is powered by The Global NGO Stakeholders Summit and Twende Green Planet.
