Amazon Rainforest Deforestation: A Case Study of Rondônia
The study examines the impact of deforestation on the health of the Amazon Rainforest in Rondônia by analysing land use changes from 1975 to 2024 using GIS software (LandSat Explorer, ArcGIS Online, ImageJ) and satellite images. The aim was to identify the main drivers of deforestation and assess the changes in Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI ...

The study area, which represents about 20 percent of the Amazon basin, has lost 30 percent of its rainforest. New results from a nine-year research project in the eastern Amazon rainforest finds that significant deforestation in eastern and southeastern Brazil has been associated with a long-term decrease in rainfall and increase in temperature during the dry season, turning what was once a ...

How Amazon Deforestation Affects Biodiversity
As deforestation of the Amazon rainforest contributes to economic growth, huge areas are cleared every year. On average, about 500 million trees and palms on 13,856 km 2 have been cut down every year between 1988 and 2020, which means that in this time frame, a rainforest area of 80% of the size of France got lost. Especially on the eastern and southern edges, which is clearly visible in the ...

Study Shows the Impacts of Deforestation and Forest Burning on
With fires impacting 1,640 to 4,000 square miles of forest, 2019 stands out as one of the most extreme years for biodiversity impacts since 2009, when regulations limiting deforestation were enforced. "Perhaps most compelling is the role that public pressure played in curbing forest loss in 2019," Merow says.

The most critical case is the planned reconstruction of the abandoned Manaus-Porto Velho (BR-319) Highway, which would connect the arc of deforestation with central Amazonia, bringing the actors and processes from Rondônia to large areas in Amazonas and Roraima that have road access from Manaus, and open the large block of intact forest in the ...
Deforestation and Forest Loss
Global deforestation peaked in the 1980s. Can we bring it to an end? Since the end of the last ice age — 10,000 years ago — the world has lost one-third of its forests. 2 Two billion hectares of forest — an area twice the size of the United States — has been cleared to grow crops, raise livestock, and for use as fuelwood. Previously, we looked at this change in global forests over the ...
