Brazilian Amazon Rainforest Deforestation

Goal

Our site is a narrative visualization which includes the problem, impact, and causes of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest. We are hoping to reach conservationists, researchers, policy makers, and concerned global citizens with this information about the issues surrounding Brazilian Rainforest Deforestation. If we can educate our audiences about the problem and inspire them to take measures to alleviate its causes, we can help shape a future where the rainforest continues to thrive as a natural treasure.

Data Sources

Our main source of data is Brazilian Amazon Rainforest Deforestation data from Kaggle. We use additional sources to either add to the kaggle source or for additional analysis.
