Detecting gold mining impacts on insect biodiversity in a tropical mining frontier with SmallSat imagery
Abstract Gold mining is a major driver of Amazonian forest loss and degradation. As mining activity encroaches on primary forest in remote and inaccessible areas, satellite imagery provides crucial data for monitoring mining‐related deforestation. High‐resolution imagery, in particular, has shown pr...
