We report that pan-tropical monitoring of forests hidden by clouds will now be easier, thus strenthening existing global monitoring efforts. We present in this report two successful efforts to create large-scale, cloud-free mosaics of forests for two large tropical forest regions: the island of Bali (7,500 km2) and the Xingu River headwaters in southeastern Amazonia (400,000 km2).

Forest fires in the Amazon: short-term individual benefits versus long-term societal costs

Fire is the least expensive and most broadly used method of clearing land and converting forest biomass into soil nutrients for pastures and crops in the tropics. Fire is also used to control weeds and to reinvigorate palatable pasture grasses. Even if beneficial for farmers over the short run, intensification of deforestation and burning impose long-term costs on individuals and society.
