Landsat data reveals rain forest protection working in Peru
A new regional study shows that land-use policies in Peru have been key to tempering rain forest degradation and destruction in that country. Scientists at the Carnegie Institution’s Department of Global Ecology led an international effort to analyze seven years of high-resolution satellite data covering most (79%) of the Peruvian Amazon for their findings. 
[The work is published in the August 9, 2007, on-line edition of Science Express. Rain forest protection works in peru, http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/08/070809172336.htm ]
