Abstract:

This comprehensive land use dataset provides a granular understanding of the Limpopo Basin's surface composition. It reveals the spatial distribution of various land cover types – natural vegetation, agricultural lands, urban areas, and protected ecosystems – offering a valuable foundation for informed decision-making. Stakeholders can leverage this data to promote sustainable land management practices, optimize resource utilization (e.g., water, agriculture), prioritize areas for biodiversity conservation, and guide responsible urban planning strategies, ultimately safeguarding the long-term ecological health and socioeconomic well-being of the Limpopo Basin.The main data source provider is ESA.
