The tropical dry forests of the Gran Chaco region in Paraguay, Argentina, and Bolivia have become a hotspot of deforestation as cattle ranching and soy expand into the area. Deforestation monitoring in the Gran Chaco has been carried out by the non-profit Guyra Paraguay since 2011, using 30-meter resolution Landsat images for the 55 scenes that cover the Gran Chaco. The interpretation of forest change areas is done through multi-temporal analysis, which uses a base image from the last two years and a current image from the study month. Analysts use visual interpretation techniques to identify deforestation, including elements of tone, shape, size, texture, pattern, shadow, and context.GFW is no longer updating this data set on the platform.
