About this work

ISS018-E-008064 (9 Nov. 2008) --- Progressive forest clearing in Bolivia is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 18 crewmember on the International Space Station. The eastern half of Bolivia is covered with tropical rainforest. In the 1990s, Bolivia initiated a large-scale effort to increase the rate of logging and create tracts of land for commercial agriculture (primarily soy and sugar cane, but also coca) on the Amazon Basin side of the Andean highlands.
