Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{
vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Africa land cover location map.svg”—then the template
Vector version available (or
Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
This map image was
uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or

compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts
removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for
vectorisation, please tag this image with
{{Convert to SVG}} instead of
