Deforested area

Space where suppression of native vegetation has been proven.

A defined space where the comparison between images generated by satellite monitoring systems confirmed the suppression of native vegetation. Verification can also be carried out through inspections and field measurements of deforested areas. To accurately determine a deforested area, a comparison is made between images before and after the deforestation event.
