    To monitor these changes to the forest, scientist use satellite observations and satellite-based forest canopy gap fraction maps. The measurements are timed over a period of years, mainly in the span of 4-6 years. Within these years, studies are conducted to measure the level of damage distributed across the forest and the chance of deforestation. There are roughly 120 images per year in the span of four years totaling 480 images taken by the Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper-Plus satellite to monitor over four states- Acre, Para, Rondonia, and Mato Grosso, which are the main concerned areas of deforestation [Asner, and Broadbent, 2006]. This study will aim to alert logging in the Brazilian Amazon is becoming a detrimental factor in deforestation in areas that wproduce agricultural and urban uses if not operated timely in accordance to healthy re-growth of trees.…

    “In less than one hundred years over half of the forest has now been cut and burned, leaving whole areas of the earth bare and unprotected, rendering entire regions lifeless. Over fifty million acres of tropical rain forest are destroyed every year, enough trees to fill all of England and Scotland combined,” stated Cedar.int. Forests have many beneficial qualities that are essential to human life, and each and every day humans are participating in deforestation. Some of the important contributions of forests are the production of oxygen, reduction of global warming, and providing wildlife habitats. Those contributions are only a fraction of why we need to conserve the forests of the world.…
