The source does not specify a release date. Date of release is date of access.

According to the source, primary forests are defined as "mature natural humid tropical forest cover that has not been completely cleared and regrown in recent history (approximately 30 years before the year 2001, when primary forests were mapped as part of this data)."

Non-fire related loss may be a result of mechanical clearing for agriculture and logging, or from natural causes like wind damage or river meandering.
