ISS029-E-008032 (17 Sept. 2011) --- Fires along the Rio Xingu, Brazil are featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 29 crew member on the International Space Station. The rain forest of South America, also known as Amazoniathe largest such forest on Earthhas been undergoing a continual and accelerated land use conversion process into farmlands (including pasture for livestock) since the early 1960s. This process has typically been achieved by clearing of the forest using fire slash and burn followed by planting of crops. The generally infertile soils of the region make sustainable farming difficult; this drives more forest conversion into new farmland. The area of clearing can be considerable, and as the deforested regions are easily identifiable and measurable from space the rate of deforestation is likewise easy to track. This detailed photograph illustrates slash-and-burn forest clearing along the Xingu River (Rio) in the northeast of the state of Matto Grasso,

Cela nempêche pas la capitale laotienne de rêver du même destin. La culture ancestrale du Laos, étroitement liée au culte bouddhique, se veut sans vains désirs ni ambitions démesurées. Aujourdhui, la rupture est totale et Vientiane en est lillustration. La croissance exponentielle du pays est principalement due aux investissements étrangers, avec en première ligne la Chine, qui viennent puiser dans les nombreuses ressources naturelles du pays, notamment dans les secteurs miniers, forestiers et hydroélectriques.Ainsi, avec la mondialisation qui entraine luniformisation des modes de vie et ces nouvelles richesses qui sont créées, les habitants de la capitale aspirent à un nouveau destin.

El Niño conditions in 2015 and early 2016 altered rainfall patterns around the world. In the Amazon, El Niño reduced rainfall during the wet season, leaving the region drier at the start of the 2016 dry season than any year since 2002, according to NASA satellite data. Wildfire risk for the dry season months of July to October this year now exceeds fire risk in 2005 and 2010, drought years when wildfires burned large areas of Amazon rainforest, said Doug Morton, an Earth scientist at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center who helped create the fire forecast. "Severe drought conditions at the start of the dry season set the stage for extreme fire risk in 2016 across the southern Amazon," Morton said. The Amazon fire forecast uses the relationship between climate and active fire detections from NASA satellites to predict fire season severity during the regions dry season. Developed in 2011 by scientists at University of California, Irvine and NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center, th
