Amazon rainforest °C would kill some 75% of the Amazon. Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest region have negative impact on local climate.It was one of the main reason that cause the severe Drought of 2014-2015 in Brazil This is because the moisture from the forests is important to the rainfall in Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina. Half of the rainfall in the Amazon area is produced by the forests. The use of remotely sensed data is dramatically improving conservationists' knowledge of the Amazon basin. Given the objectivity and lowered costs of satellite-based land cover analysis, it appears likely that remote sensing technology will be
Amazon rainforest an integral part of assessing the extent and damage of deforestation in the basin. Furthermore, remote sensing is the best and perhaps only possible way to study the Amazon on a large scale. The use of remote sensing for the conservation of the Amazon is also being used by the indigenous tribes of the basin to protect their tribal lands from commercial interests. Using handheld GPS devices and programs like Google Earth, members of the Trio Tribe, who live in the rainforests of southern Suriname, map out their ancestral lands to help strengthen their territorial claims.
