Note:
Units in 000’s hectares; NA = not applicable. Shaded cells indicate land remaining in each category. The minimum area shown for land-use change is 100 hectares;
however, areas are mapped to 1 hectare resolution. Blank cells indicate no land-use change during the period greater than 100 hectares. Land-use change values
refer to change over the course of the period. Land-use area values are as at the point in time indicated (31 December for 2012 and 2013.) Columns and rows may not
total due to rounding.
