If things can not be tagged from aerial images then it is better to wait for new ones rather than add something like that. > Two types of classifications exist: > natural=wood for not managed woods like for the main part of the Amazonia. > landuse=forest for managed woods maintained by humans. both are simply used for tree-covered areas, and distinction between them is either ignored or interpreted in some many ways that it is simply meaningless (note many natural=wood in Europe, where it is hard to find forest not maintained by humans) > Also, this information partially needed a local knowledge so the more general > tag used can be landcover=trees, also quite used as shown in taginfo. Landcover trees is a rarely used tag, with over half of use in Paraguay that is result of single series of edits. It is used by tiny minority of mappers. https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/landuse=forest <https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/landuse=forest> https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/natural=wood <https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/natural=wood> https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/landcover=trees Mar 13, 2019, 8:49 PM by [email protected]: > Hi all, > > After some discussion about the idea of this project, we think to better capt > all the idea to create a wiki page with the purpose of better understand the > problem and find the better way to tag this situation. > > So we create a wiki page > > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/PoliMappers/mapping_deforestation > <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/PoliMappers/mapping_deforestation>> > where is possible to discuss these thematics, let us known your idea. > > Best Regards, > Stucchi Lorenzo >
