Global Forest Watch shows much of the deforestation detected by the MAAP team is happening in large, connected areas of primary forest called Intact Forest Landscapes (IFLs); nearly 30 percent of the 2001-2014 tree cover loss shown in the upper-right inset occurred in IFLs. Satellite imagery captured January 20 shows mosaic deforestation along the Las Piedras River, with earlier imagery (lower-left inset) showing a close-up of one of the patches of felled trees.
