This map looks at deforestation in the Northern Bolivian Amazon near Rurrenebaque in the district of Beni between 2003-2013. Each land use descriptor listed below the Intact Forest Landscapes Layer 2003/2013 is taken from ESRI Bolivia's 2012 map "Mapa de Uso Mayor de la Tierra en Bolivia". These layers show some interesting trends: even protected areas have lost forest in the last decade, plantation agriculture covers less of the deforested area than extensive agriculture or logging from natural areas, and livestock grazing is by far the largest land user by area. The final map layer shows 2016 road map data from the Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN). While road development is often correlated to deforestation, the map shows no obvious trends connecting the two.
