Satellite Analysis for Rondônia, Brazil

Name: Satalyse
Author: Satalyse

Rondônia sits on the arc of deforestation, one of the most rapidly cleared forest frontiers on Earth. Satellite-derived NDVI change detection here has become critical for NGOs, government agencies, and ESG investors tracking Amazon loss in near real-time.

-10.90°, -61.90°

Tropical humid with a defined dry season (Jun–Sep) that correlates with peak fire activity and accelerated clearing.
