Paper Summary

A new system called the National Land Representation System (NLRS) was created in Bangladesh to make accurate land cover maps. This system involved many organizations working together to collect and analyze data from different sources. By using this system, a detailed map of the country's land cover for the year 2015 was made. This map is now being used for various purposes like assessing forest resources, estimating activity data, and combining different types of information.
