Dataset on Spatial Analysis and Clustering of Deforestation in the Amazon Biome: Spatio-Temporal Patterns and Priority Areas

The dataset was developed with the aim of facilitating the development of a methodology to identify and evaluate deforestation patterns and trends in the Amazon. This innovative method combines deforestation alerts from the Real-Time Deforestation Detection System (DETER) with detailed information on various land categories, including environmental protection areas, settlements, rural properties, undesignated public forests, indigenous lands, and conservation units. The integration of this robust data allowed for the precise identification of areas at risk of deforestation, significantly strengthening monitoring and control activities aimed at combating deforestation in the Amazon region.
