The document summarizes Terra-i, a system that uses MODIS satellite data and precipitation data to monitor habitat changes every 16 days at a 250m resolution. It can detect deforestation and has been used to track forest loss in regions like Latin America, Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia. Case studies show how Terra-i detected artisanal mining in Madre de Dios, Peru and forest disturbances in Honduras. Future applications include using the data to create deforestation scenarios and integrating it with other policy support systems to understand impacts on ecosystems. The document promotes Terra-i's website for exploring and visualizing the data.

1. Near Real Time Monitoring of Habitat Change Using
Neural Network and a MODIS data

2. What is Terra-
Terra-i is a system of habitat changes monitoring that uses different
mathematical models that combine vegetation data (MODIS NDVI) and
precipitation data (TRMM) to detect deviations from the natural cycle of
the vegetation over time and thus antrophogenic impacts on natural
ecosystems.
It has maps of habitat loss every 16 days at the
continental level with 250 meters of spatial
resolution.

Cash crops, shifting agriculture, livestock and mining are the proximate drivers of local deforestation

11. Future Scenarios
Using Terra-i data and independent datasets (distance to
cities, roads, rivers, elevation, among others) to create future
scenarios where land-use changes are likely to happen

12. Integration Terra-i with others Policy Support Systems
Terra-i has been used within the WaterWorld and Co$ting Nature Policy Support Systems to
understand the impact of recent land cover change on hydrology and the production and delivery
of ecosystem services.
