Summary
The 2006 National Footprint Accounts (NFA) portion of the Compendium of Environmental Sustainability Indicator Collections, version 1.1 is a data set that measures how much land and water area a human population requires to produce the resources it consumes and to absorb its wastes under prevailing technology and management. It includes Footprints for cropland, grazing ... land, carbon, nuclear, forest, built-up and fishing ground for 147 countries. It also identifies countries that are considered to have ecological deficits and reserves. These data are drawn from the National Footprint Accounts, 2006 Edition, produced by the Global Footprint Network and distributed by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN). The underlying data behind the eco-region protection data are accessible in a simple interactive mapping tool at http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/MCC_NRMI/viewer.htm. The tool is meant to help visualize the distribution of biomes and protected areas within countries, to make the indicator more understandable. The purpose is to help assess a country's demand on and supply of biological capital.
