                         has occurred within 100 km from major roads established under 
                         federal development programmes. Clearings larger than 50 ha and 
                         200 ha accounted, respectively, for 74 percent and 50 percent of 
                         the total deforestation in the 1991-1997 period. Results show that 
                         more intense deforestation has been concentrated over some 
                         regions, leading to the continuous enlargement of forest clearings
