This update to the Human Footprint (HFP) provides a measure of the direct and indirect human pressures on the environment globally in years 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2013. Per the orinal Human Footprint, this dataset is derived from remotely-sensed and bottom-up survey information compiled on eight measured variables. This represents not only the most current information of its type, but also the first temporally-consistent set of Human Footprint maps. Data on human pressures were acquired or developed for: 1) built environments, 2) population density, 3) electric infrastructure, 4) crop lands, 5) pasture lands, 6) roads, 7) railways, and 8) navigable waterways. This update incorporates updated and higher resolution population, nightlights, pasture, road, and railway input datasets. The Human Footprint maps find a range of uses as proxies for human disturbance of natural systems and can provide an increased understanding of the human pressures that drive macro-ecological patterns, as well as for tracking environmental change and informing conservation science and application. HFP values range from 0 (no human impact) to 50 (heavily human impacted).<br><br>See: <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms12558" target="_blank">Venter, O. et al., 2016.
