  4. Those who monitor global #forest cover, or have any other interest in global #forests should mask global non-forest areas such as #GrassyBiomes by using resources such as the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology (iucn.org/resources/conservatio) or the RESOLVE Ecoregions 2017© biomes map (ecoregions.appspot.com/).
