Summary
Description Fires and Deforestation on the Amazon Frontier, Rondonia, Brazil - August 12, 2007.jpg |
English:
In this image, intact forest is deep green, while cleared areas are tan (bare ground) or light green (crops, pasture, or occasionally, second-growth forest). The fish bone pattern of small clearings along new roads is the beginning of one of the common deforestation trajectories in the Amazon.
