Amazon skywatch
Article Abstract:
The use of artificial satellites to map Amazonian jungles have improved the information available on the rate of deforestation going on there. Field work is still necessary to validate the satellite data and many satellites have their view blocked by weather or darkness. Satellite mapping has shown that deforestation has increased in Amazonia from 153,000 square kilometers in 1978 to 410,000 in 1990. New satellites which employ radar imaging rather than visual light imaging techniques show great promise.
