Supporting Material 2.2a:  Satellite Images of Amazonia

The satellite images of Amazonia provided in the printed version of this module were taken from the WWW page of the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (National Institute of Space Research) in Brazil.

For this activity, it is recommended that you visit that site and download two images -- one that  illustrates very little human development of the land and another that illustrates signficant development (e.g., urban and/or agricultural land uses).
