abstract = "Understanding forest loss patterns in Amazonia, the Earth's
largest rainforest region, is critical for effective forest
conservation and management. Following the most detailed analysis
to date, spanning the entire Amazon and extending over a 14-year
period (2001-2014), we reveal significant shifts in deforestation
dynamics of Amazonian forests. Firstly, hotspots of Amazonian
forest loss are moving away from the southern Brazilian Amazon to
Peru and Bolivia. Secondly, while the number of new large forest
clearings (>50 ha) has declined significantly over time (46%), the
number of new small clearings (<1 ha) increased by 34% between
2001-2007 and 2008-2014. Thirdly, we find that small-scale
low-density forest loss expanded markedly in geographical extent
during 2008-2014. This shift presents an important and alarming
new challenge for forest conservation, despite reductions in
overall deforestation rates.",
