What is the GAME grid?

The GAME grid divides Mt. Makiling into numbered squares, so that every place on the mountain has a short address and data from different studies can be compared place by place.

Each square splits into smaller ones, five levels deep: grid 1 km, quadrant 500 m, cell 100 m, square 20 m and granule 10 m. An address grows by one part per level, so 135 is a 1 km grid and 135A1152a is a 10 m granule inside it.

Zoom in and the map switches to finer levels by itself (Auto), or pick a level. Click any square to see its address, and with Colour units by see what the tree inventories found there: how many trees and species, how dense the forest is, and how diverse.

Grey squares are outside the Makiling Forest Reserve (MMFR). Coordinates are WGS 84 / UTM 51N (EPSG:32651).
