Description
Summary:Angola’s forests are being deforested, which worries the authorities. Therefore, it becomes necessary to have a methodology that makes facing to this problem, to provide support to the control and management of forest resources as well as for the establishment of public policy, focusing in order to mitigate the deforestation, enabling the application. This article aims to propose a deforestation monitoring methodology by Landsat-8 satellite imagery. The proposed methodology is based on the use of Remote Sensing techniques. This article considers as study area, a region of tropical forest
