Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Amazon rainforest in Brazil is one of the most biodiverse biomes of the world. Although is considered vital in slowing global warming, it is threatened by deforestation. The statistics published by Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (INPE) show that Brazil’s Amazon has suffered its worst rate of deforestation in 12 years with 11,088 km² of the rainforest - equivalent to 14.05 times the size of New York City - lost between August 2019 and July 2020. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 on 4 October 2020, shows the province di Aripuanã in Mato Grosso, one of the most devastated areas in Brazil by the recent escalation of the deforestation. The high spatial resolution and the high revisit frequency of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites allow the accurate mapping of newly deforested areas.
