After Brazil’s worst flood on record, scientists found that natural vegetation shrank by 25% and fragmented across Rio Grande do Sul
The recent flooding in Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul has led to extensive ecological consequences, with native plant cover diminishing by approximately 25%. As a result, the remnants of natural habitats are now more fragmented and isolated than ever, posing significant hurdles for wildlife mobility and ecosystem restoration. Utilizing satellite data can provide a swift evaluation to enhance conservation strategies in the aftermath of this disaster.
