An interactive map has now been made available revealing the levels of global deforestation between the years of 2000 and 2012. The map has been created by analysing 654,178 Landsat images. The program looks at both forest loss and forest gain. The calculations are accurate down to about 30 meters providing enough detail to provide useful local information while still covering the whole globe.This screenshot shows forest cover loss between 2002 and 2012. Red indicates loss and black, no loss.Have a go, and see how your own country stands in relation to deforestation:http://earthenginepartners.appspot.com/science-2013-global-forest -- source link
