                         mapping and monitoring land use and land cover areas (TerraClass)

                         experience on tropical forest monitoring. TerraClass aims to 
                         qualify based on satellite images, already deforested areas of the 
                         Amazon with biannual frequency. It evaluates the dynamic of land

                         2010. The project is developed in partnership with Embrapa
