This Overview shows a deforested area of Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Since the mid-1980s, resettlement of people from the high plains of the Andes Mountains and a corresponding agricultural development effort known as the Tierras Bajas project has led to utter deforestation in this region. The pinwheel-patterned fields follow the San Javier resettlement scheme, with each pinwheel containing a central community that includes a church, bar/café, school, and soccer field. The light-colored areas of the formations are primarily fields of soybeans, and the dark lines running through the fields are “windbreaks” that prevent the erosion of the area’s unusually fine soil.
