Deforestation in the Amazon is a critical issue. However, the population, authorities and decision makers do not perform the corresponding actions many times due to lack of awareness in this regard. According to the situation described before, the present work proposes the use of satellite images for identification and mapping of areas affected by deforestation. With the maps resulting from the proposed analysis, it is expected to make the decision makers aware so that they can act and implement the corresponding measures against the high degree of pollution. Having an interactive material that shows the effects of deforestation, one can educate children and young people about the impact that man himself causes to the planet.
