In the face of advancing deforestation, vegetation fragmentation, and the challenge of finding institutional arrangements that favor forest conservation, this case study analyzed land cover on 10 rural properties and their surroundings belonging to two religious groups that ritually use the Ayahuasca tea in Rondônia, Brazil. Using high-resolution satellite images (Quickbird) and object-oriented classification (GEOBIA), the study found that 98% of the analyzed territories were covered by native vegetation in early, intermediate, and advanced stages of regeneration, while only 50.5% of the surrounding mapped areas still had such cover.
