The Case of the National Forest of Jamanxim

"A Provisional Measure of 2016 proposes to change the boundaries of the Jamanxim National Forest in Pará. In order to convince parliamentarians to veto the project, representatives of non-governmental organization have used the MapBiomas maps with the evolution of the land use occupation of the region since 1985. They were able to demonstrate with the images how the place was historically occupied with familiar characteristics, in small areas, quite different from those who now claim rights over those lands in large properties.
