TRANSCRIPT
Near Real Time Monitoring of Habitat Change UsingNeural Network and a MODIS data
Terra-i is a system of habitat changes monitoring that uses different
mathematical models that combine vegetation data (MODIS NDVI) and
precipitation data (TRMM) to detect deviations from the natural cycle of
the vegetation over time and thus antrophogenic impacts on natural
ecosystems.
What is Terra-
It has maps of habitat loss every 16 days at the
continental level with 250 meters of spatial
resolution.

According to Gupta (2012) “Glocal forest and REDD+ governance: win–win or lose–lose?”. Curr. Opi. in Env. Sust.Cash crops, shifting agriculture, livestock and mining are the proximate drivers of local deforestation

For every 16 days periods, Terra-i has been able to track the areas of rapid forest-cover change
Case study: Peruvian artisanal mining

Improve more and more our system by developing
methodologies for analyzing the information generated.
Case study:
The Amazon Basin
Deforestation patterns
Future Scenarios
Using Terra-i data and independent datasets (distance to
cities, roads, rivers, elevation, among others) to create future
scenarios where land-use changes are likely to happen

WaterWorld Co$ting Nature
Terra-i has been used within the WaterWorld and Co$ting Nature Policy Support Systems to
understand the impact of recent land cover change on hydrology and the production and delivery
of ecosystem services.
