Colombian Timber and Non-Timber Forest Product Mobilization by Municipality and Species

Colombia's reported mobilization volumes of timber and non-timber forest products. The data is reported by the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA) and the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MADS). It includes temporal and spatial breakdowns by year, semester, trimester, month, municipality, and department.

Use Cases

• Analyze seasonal trends in forest product extraction using SEMESTRE, TRIMESTRE, and MES columns.
• Map the geographic distribution of timber volume by species using DEPARTAMENTO, MUNICIPIO, ESPECIE, and VOLUMEN M3 columns.
• Compare reported volumes between different product classes and sources using CLASE DE PRODUCTO, TIPO PRODUCTO, and FUENTE columns.
• Model annual production trends for specific species or regions using AÑO, ESPECIE, and VOLUMEN M3 columns.

Strengths

• Data is officially reported by two Colombian government agencies: ICA and MADS.
• Includes detailed temporal granularity with columns for year, semester, trimester, and month.
• Provides spatial breakdowns at both the department and municipality levels.
• Distinguishes between timber and non-timber products and lists specific species.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
