DATA GUIDE

Finding and understanding a dataset

Search and filter the list, then read the dataset page for fields, units, map, provenance and citation.

Beginner 1 min read datasetssearchmetadata

The Datasets list has search, a Theme filter, a Kind filter (boundary, settlement, pressure, restoration, mangrove extent…) and paging. Admins also see a Restricted only option.

A dataset page shows

  • What it is, who published it, and its licence status.
  • Fields and units: every attribute, with the conversion applied.
  • A map of the layer and a table of rows you can page through.
  • Provenance: version, import run, archive checksum.
  • Citation text ready to copy.
  • Downloads (CSV/GeoJSON) for institutional admins.

Names. Global Mangrove Watch datasets are named "Global Mangrove Watch v4.1: mangrove extent 2025, Kenya". Layers from WWF Kenya Sources keep their original names and show the group they belong to.
