Deforestation in the Amazon
Deforestation in the Amazon. Satellite image of the region around the mouth of the Amazon River (upper left) in northern Brazil. North is at top. The dark green colour shows the extensive tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin, but light brown patches across lower frame show areas where the forest has been cleared (deforestation). The area at bottom centre is the Sierra Carajas region of mountains and mining activities. Also seen (at centre) is the lake that has formed behind the Tucurui Dam (built 1985). The Atlantic coast is seen at upper right. The area seen here is about 1800 kilometres across. Data acquired by a Landsat satellite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the devastating effects of deforestation in the Amazon. Taken from a satellite image, it provides a bird's-eye view of the region surrounding the mouth of the mighty Amazon River in northern Brazil. The lush and vibrant dark green color represents the vast tropical rainforests that once covered this area, while light brown patches scattered across the lower frame reveal areas where rampant deforestation has occurred. Intriguingly, at the bottom center lies Sierra Carajas, a mountainous region known for its mining activities. This juxtaposition highlights how industrialization and human intervention have encroached upon these precious natural habitats. Additionally, we can observe an artificial lake formed behind Tucurui Dam, constructed in 1985. The image also captures glimpses of Brazil's Atlantic coast at its upper right corner, emphasizing how close this destruction is to one of Earth's most diverse ecosystems. Spanning approximately 1800 kilometers across, this photograph serves as a stark reminder of our impact on Earth's delicate balance. It underscores not only the environmental damage caused by deforestation but also raises questions about sustainable land use practices and preservation efforts within South America's iconic Amazon Basin. Acquired by a Landsat satellite as part of ongoing earth observation studies, this powerful visual compels us to reflect on our responsibility towards protecting our planet for future generations.
