Understanding the effects of roads on land use change in the Brazilian Amazon is crucial in developing policies to combat forest destruction. Here we examine one relevant case study: the proposal to pave BR-319. Specifically, we analyze land within 50 km on either side of BR-319 using Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) to identify areas particularly vulnerable to deforestation.
