Deforestation in the Amazon 1975 to 2012, satellite images. At left from 1975 is an area of rainforest in the Amazon, in the state of Rondonia in Brazil. The same area is shown at right 37 years later in 2012. Clearing of the forest for agricultural land has left a patchwork pattern that has fragmented the ecosystem. The images were obtained by Landsat satellites operated by NASA and the USGS. | |
