I just stumbled over http://earthenginepartners.appspot.com/science-2013-global-forest
More info under http://earthenginepartners.appspot.com/science-2013-global-forest/download.html It is a scientific data set generated from landsat imagery for global forest loss/gain, but which also contains data for forest cover on a 30m grid. It is licensed under CC. While this would not be for everywhere, but there are plenty of regions where OSM has no forest data and importing this data would be quite interesting. The way I would imagine this to happen is to somehow polygonize the data, so that larger areas of forest are generated. What do others think? Is their license permissive enough to even contemplate this? Ludwig
