                         essential for studies addressing biodiversity, climate change and 
                         environmental modeling as well as for the design and monitoring of 
                         land use policies. The aim of this study was to create a detailed 
                         map of land use land cover of the deforested areas of the 
                         Brazilian Legal Amazon up to 2008. Deforestation data from and 
                         uses were mapped with Landsat-5/TM images analysed with 
                         techniques, such as linear spectral mixture model, threshold 
                         slicing and visual interpretation, aided by temporal information 
                         extracted from NDVI MODIS time series. The result is a high 
                         spatial resolution of land use and land cover map of the entire 
                         Brazilian Legal Amazon for the year 2008 and corresponding 
                         calculation of area occupied by different land use classes. The 
                         results showed that the four classes of Pasture covered 62% of the 
                         deforested areas of the Brazilian Legal Amazon, followed by 
                         Secondary Vegetation with 21%. The area occupied by Annual 
                         Agriculture covered less than 5% of deforested areas; the 
                         remaining areas were distributed among six other land use classes.
