had been handed over by China to United Nations to support the globl 
climate change studies and sustanable develeopment.Now you can view and 
get the data from the websites(glc30.tianditu.com

I hope this will contribute to the global research data infrastructures 
supporting biodiversity and ecosystem sciences. I am looking forward to 
discuss with you on future collaboration.

I can't speak to the accuracy of this product, or even how it was 
created, as I am just trying to download the tiles for TZ myself, but I 
thought some of you might be interested in taking a look. It has cover 
products for both 2000 and 2010, so if it is a decent product, it could 
be very useful.

Download tip: When entering in the tile numbers you would like to 
download, please note that it is case sensitive.

All the best,

Anna
