Sample of visually validated images of new landing strips in the Amazon

This dataset contains visually validated images of new landing strips in the Amazon, captured exclusively by Planet satellites. These images are crucial for monitoring deforestation, illegal activities, and unauthorized land use in this vital region. The satellite imagery provides detailed geospatial information about emerging landing strips, which are often linked to illegal logging, mining, and other environmentally damaging activities. Expert validation ensures the accuracy and reliability of the data, making it suitable for environmental research, ecological impact assessments, and enforcement efforts. This dataset is a vital resource for policymakers, environmentalists, and researchers focused on preserving the Amazon rainforest and mitigating human encroachment.
