How to add vectorial PALSAR-2 Global Forest data in QGIS

Follow those simple steps:

  1. Go to http://www.eorc.jaxa.jp/ALOS/en/palsar_fnf/data/index.htm and select latest FNF map.
  2. Select the region and sub-region
  3. Download the FNF file
  4. In your QGIS project open the file that has no extension
  5. If you need to merge several FNF files, save them first as GTIFF (raster) and use the merge tool in the raster menu
  6. In the raster menu select Conversion > Polygonize, remember to check the "field name" checkbox
  7. Open the Attribute table of you new layer and, using formula, select all the features that are meaningless (No Forest) and delete them

Done!
