Summary: This work presents a approach for monitoring forest degradation in the Brazilian Amazon using a multi-temporal dataset of Landsat-8 imagery. We use a Normalized Burned Ratio (NBR) for detecting selective logging in two differents areas in the Brazilian Amazon, Acre State and the Roraima State. The proposed approach can be used for monitoring forest degradation to availability the vegetation indice using the proposed method and facilitating the implementation of action of forest protection in the Brazilian Amazon.
