Abstract

This study explores the potential of documentary photography and spatial remote sensing as complementary tools to address deforestation in the Amazon. Documentary photography possesses the unique ability to capture and communicate the human impacts of deforestation, giving voice to affected communities and raising awareness through powerful visual narratives. On the other hand, spatial remote sensing provides a broad and unbiased perspective, allowing to monitor and quantify changes in forest cover over time and across vast geographic areas. The integration of these two disciplines provides a more complete and holistic understanding of Amazon deforestation. In addition, a qualitative approach and phenomenological design was applied to this study, in which ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with specialists in the field such as photographers and remote sensing professionals. Results were obtained to promote awareness and understanding of this problem. Findings such as the importance of emotional connections through images, use of narrative in photography, management of institutional participation, among others, were identified.
