This site is an ongoing collaboration between the World Resources Institute's Global Forest Watch Project and the Institute for Man and the Environment in the Amazon (Imazon). In this site, you will find spatial data layers and analyses about the Brazilian Amazon, and you will be able to query for specific information and print custom maps.
Available datasets are organized by themes. Individual layers within themes can be viewed by checking the box next to each layer and pre-selected queries (to the right) are also available. After selection, press START MAP to generate a map in a new window. From the map, you may add and subtract layers. Please feel free e-mail us if you have questions, comments or suggestions.
