1 The Future Tropical Forest Ecosystem
2 Objectives To gain a greater appreciation of the level and rate of deforestation in tropical rainforest areas To be able to produce a map of spatial data using a GIS package To describe and explain the relationship between deforestation and other variables
3 768,935 km 2 of tropical rainforest has been lost from the Brazilian Amazon since 1970 How many countries the size of England could you fit in this area?
4 768,935 km 2 of tropical rainforest has been lost from the Brazilian Amazon since 1970 How many countries the size of England could you fit in this area? (England = 130,395 km 2 )
5 768,935 km 2 of tropical rainforest has been lost from the Brazilian Amazon since 1970 How many = 6 countries the size of England could you fit in this area?
6 7,989 km 2 of tropical rainforest was lost from the Brazilian Amazon in 2016 How many football pitches could you fit in this area?
7 7,989 km 2 of tropical rainforest was lost from the Brazilian Amazon in 2016 How many football pitches could you fit in this area? A standard football pitch measures 64m x 100m
8 7,989 km 2 of tropical rainforest was lost from the Brazilian Amazon in 2016 = How 1,248,281 many football pitches could you fit in this area?
9 Assuming deforestation was happening at the same pace, 24 hours a day and on every day of the year, how many football pitches are we losing every hour in the Brazilian Amazon alone? 1,248,281 football pitches a year
10 Assuming deforestation was happening at the same pace, 24 hours a day and on every day of the year, how many football pitches are we losing every hour in the Brazilian Amazon alone? 1,248,281 football pitches a year (divide by 365)
11 Assuming deforestation was happening at the same pace, 24 hours a day and on every day of the year, how many football pitches are we losing every hour in the Brazilian Amazon alone? 1,248,281 football pitches a year (divide by 365) = 3,420 football pitches a day
12 Assuming deforestation was happening at the same pace, 24 hours a day and on every day of the year, how many football pitches are we losing every hour in the Brazilian Amazon alone? 3,420 football pitches a day
13 Assuming deforestation was happening at the same pace, 24 hours a day and on every day of the year, how many football pitches are we losing every hour in the Brazilian Amazon alone? 3,420 football pitches a day (divide by 24)
14 Assuming deforestation was happening at the same pace, 24 hours a day and on every day of the year, how many football pitches are we losing every hour in the Brazilian Amazon alone? 3,420 football pitches a day (divide by 24) = 142 football pitches an hour
15 Go onto ArcGIS Online:
16 Select Map : The Future Tropical
17 Drag the CSV data file onto the map:
18 Zoom out to a level where you can see Brazil most clearly:
19 Changing the attributes changes the data displayed:
20 The default presentation method is proportional circles:
21 Selecting Counts and Amounts (Color) changes the map to choropleth shaded dots:
22 Selecting Options and Symbols gives you the ability to change the size, shape and colour palette of the choropleth shapes:
23 Selecting Options and Symbols gives you the ability to change the size, shape and colour palette of the choropleth shapes:
24 Select Add attribute to compare more than one variable from the CSV file:
25 In this case, size and colour represent the two different variables:
26 Experiment with changing the basemap to make the data stand out, as well as with scale, colour and attribute selected:

28 Is it true that deforestation decreases with increasing HDI?
