"Amazon deforestation, Brazil" - stock video

"Timelapse series showing Amazon deforestation in the state of Rondonia in western Brazil from July 2000 to July 2012. By the start of this satellite time series from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA s Terra satellite, the frontier had reached the remote northwest corner of Rond nia. Intact forest is deep green, while cleared areas are tan (bare ground) or light green (crops, pasture, or occasionally, second-growth forest). Over the span of 12 years, roads and clearings pushed west-northwest from Buritis toward the Jaciparan River. The deforested area along the road into Nova Mamor expanded north-northeast all the way to the BR-346 highway. Tropical deforestation can have profound, sometimes devastating, consequences, including social conflict and human rights abuses, extinction of plants and animals, and climate change."
