Description: 

The main goal of this report is to provide a brief summary of land-use change in Amazonia within the focus countries of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. This report will mainly focus on the analysis and discussion of land-use change status and trends since 1970’s, a period when considerable changes started to be evident. Analyses were supported from a literature review and land use databases and maps for Andean countries (CIAT) and Brazil (INPE). Additionally, data available from the Terra-i tool, the first habitat-loss tracking system for Latin America, was used to analyze the critical changes in land-use cover reported by several authors in the last decade (2000 to publication date).
