I am excited to introduce a new category of MapRoulette challenges (Bulgaria - Adding Missing Forests and Green Areas: MapRoulette).
Our TomTom team has recently identified instances of missing forests and green areas through a spatial comparison with our map database. Our aim is for you to kindly detect and potentially add these absent forests and green spaces, utilising your local expertise and the most suitable sources available, there might have official names that require verification before inclusion.
This particular challenge comprises 123 tasks. Please be aware that false positives could be present. Therefore, we kindly urge you to leverage your local knowledge and rely on credible sources to rectify these matters.
About half of Bulgaria is without much land cover mapping; the area of the challenge is just part of it. I think we should wait until people with local knowledge pick up these huge tasks, like I did for Nikopol and Belene municipalities and that @ikonact is now doing for Veliko Turnovo oblast. Alternatively, we could work on making existing cadastral data available for addition to OSM.
Hello, Only to mention that 10 years ago we had some agreement about creating our classification based forest coverage. The idea was create and validate the coverage based on Landsat/Sentinel imagery and not depend on periodically generated datasets as CLC.
