Both of the images above show us the change in landscape and vegetation in the area of central Peruvian Amazon. The first picture was taken on March, 2020, meanwhile, the second picture was taken on November, 2020 by Planet/MAAP for ABC News.
The pictures above give us an idea of the severity of the deforestation activity that is taking place in the Amazon rainforest. The image on the left allows us to see quite an undisturbed area of natural vegetation. The image on the right gives us a look into how serious the forest has thinned due to human exploitation. The brown-red color that shows up more regularly in the later picture also proves that forest clearing is leaving the land bare and exposed. Activities such as mining and agriculture was provided to be some of the main contributors to the area's rapid deforestation.
