Sub-Saharan Africa burned areas were mapped monthly and annually for the year 2000 using SPOT-VEGETATION satellite imagery at 1 km resolution. The Global Burned Area 2000 (GBA2000) initiative, led by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, produced this dataset. Burned pixels were identified using a classification tree algorithm applied to the near-infrared channel of the VGT sensor.
