GLW2 – Gridded Livestock of the World 2 – Global distribution of goats (Goats Global)

This updated layer of The Gridded Livestock of the World (GLW)database provided modelled livestock densities of the world, adjusted to match official (FAOSTAT)national estimates for the reference year 2005, at a spatial resolution of 3 minutes of arc (about 565 km at the equator).Recent methodological improvements have significantly enhanced these distributions: more up-to date and detailed sub-national livestock statistics have been collected; a new, higher resolution set of predictor variables is used; and the analyticalprocedure has been revised and extended to include a more systematic assessment of model accuracy and therepresentation of uncertainties associated with the predictions.<br><br>For further details on mapping methods see: Robinson, T.P., Wint, G.R.W., Conchedda, G., Van Boeckel, T.P., Ercoli, V., Palamara, E., Cinardi, G., D’Aietti, L., Hay, S.I., Gilbert, M., 2014.
