This RapidEye satellite image, from 30 July 2015, shows the Pepiri-Guazu River, which forms part of the border between Argentina and Brazil. The distinct contrast in terrain marks the location of the river, where dense rainforest covers Misiones in Argentina on the left, and cultivated agricultural land of Santa Catarina in Brazil covers the right side of the image. The area is home to part of the Atlantic Forest, a rainforest which was once one of the largest in the world.

More than 80% of the forest has been lost to deforestation in recent centuries, threatening the native flora and fauna. On the Argentinian side of the image, we can see part of the Yabotí Biosphere Reserve, which was founded in 1995 to protect Guarani tribal villages and endangered species. Other waterways are also visible throughout the forest.
