African development corridors and their impact on Protected Areas.
Changing in Mangrove Protection
Mangroves forests are a crucial coastal ecosystem in tropics and subtropics countries. They provide a lot of environmental and socio-economic services and they are the main strategy for the resilience of coast areas to climate change impacts.
According to the mangrove forests dataset released in the Global Mangrove Watch Version 3.0, there were 42063, 614 km2 within ACP countries in 2020. The most extensive area of mangroves falls within West Africa region with Nigeria that host around19% of the ACP mangroves.
Protected and conserved areas continue playing a pivotal role in protect mangroves and prevent their future loss. The protection has increased from 4347,39 sqkm in 1996 to 14370,18 sqkm in 2020 and nowadays, 34% of all the ACP mangroves fall within protected and conserved areas.

Digital Elevation Model (ESA - 30 meters)
The Copernicus DEM is a Digital Surface Model (DSM) that represents the surface of the Earth including buildings, infrastructure and vegetation. It is offered in three resolutions and two extents (Global; EEA39). The Copernicus DEM available here is a subset of the COP-DEM_GLO-30-DGED dataset, with 30 m resolution and global extent. This dataset was made available for use in 2019 and will be maintained until 2026; the version available in this platform was released in 2022.
The Copernicus DEM is released with a free and open license that can be consulted here. More information on the dataset can be found at this link.
