description: This plugin enables the acquisition of land's use and coverage maps from MapBiomas Project (http://mapbiomas.org/) as an XYZ tile layer.
about: Adds the annual land use and land cover maps of the MapBiomas Project as XYZ tile
      layers, for every published initiative: Brazil, Amazonia, Chaco, Pampa, Atlantic Forest,
      Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Paraguay, Mexico,
      Indonesia and others. Pick a year on the timeline, choose the level of detail, and toggle
      individual classes. Initiatives, years, classes and colours come from the MapBiomas
      platform API at runtime, so new collections show up without updating the plugin.

changelog:
  - 2.0.0(2026-09-08)
  Rewritten on top of the MapBiomas platform API
  Initiatives, years, classes and colours are read from the API at runtime instead of being hardcoded, so new collections appear without updating the plugin
  Layers are served as XYZ tiles instead of WMS
  Legend now follows the MapBiomas platform: no cascading between a class and its children, and a class is mutually exclusive with its parents and children
  Added the level selector (1 to 4) to switch the granularity of the map
  Added per-class descriptions, and "view only this class"
  Interface language follows the QGIS locale and can be changed when adding a layer
  Region, year, selected classes, level and collapsed groups are restored when a project is reopened
  Metadata is cached on disk and reused when the API is unreachable
  Requires QGIS 3.34 or newer
