Forest loss from timber harvesting and mountain top removal mining in the Southeast US, 2005-2010.

Wildfires and logging have made their imprint on forests in Trinity County, California.

Observe the spreading loss of Amazon forest in western Brazil, in the state of Rondonia.

Cities around the world have grown under Landsat’s watch. Our Flickr page has then and now comparisons.

Flyover the Eastern US, highlighting areas of forest loss, 2005-2010.
