Reply to comment by Fiiti in [OC] %age of area covered by forests in Indian states by BlitzOrion

Well no, it's 19% because it is 0-20 percent non inclusive, so for clarity they put in 19.99%

You’re missing the point.

When the range starts at 0%, it’s misleading/disingenuous to have that range represented with any shade of green. Maybe a pale yellow or something similar is more apt.

And there is an incredible difference between 0% forest and 20% forest. Using this key, the Sahara would be the same color as much of this map.
