This data article describes a curated, analysis-ready geospatial data package for screening peat swamp forest loss in the Lac Télé protected-area complex and surrounding 50 km landscape buffer in the Republic of the Congo. The package integrates a simplified CongoPeat peatland classification with Hansen Global Forest Change (GFC) v1.12 tree-cover and loss-year layers (2000-2024), and provides derived products that screen recent forest-cover loss on peat swamp forest between 2015 and 2024. The package includes machine-readable quality-control summaries, annual loss time series for 2001-2024, sensitivity analyses across forest-cover thresholds, and stratified validation points with Google Earth visual interpretation labels. These resources support reuse in protected-area monitoring, peatland conservation planning, and validation design across Central African peatland landscapes.
