Exhibe INEGI pérdida de árboles y vegetación en Veracruz
The study reveals a significant decline in Veracruz’s vegetation cover over the past three decades, primarily driven by urban expansion and port infrastructure projects. Analysis of satellite imagery indicates that metropolitan areas such as Veracruz, Boca del Río, and the Riviera Veracruzana have suffered severe deforestation, with vegetation density dropping to critical levels. This trend highlights the direct environmental cost of rapid industrialization and urban sprawl in key economic zones. Conversely, specific regions like the Cofre de Perote and the slopes of the Pico de Orizaba demonstrate successful reforestation efforts, showing a marked increase in green cover. This divergence underscores that environmental degradation is not uniform across the state; rather, it depends on local land-use policies and conservation initiatives. These contrasting outcomes suggest that targeted ecological management can effectively reverse habitat loss even amidst broader regional deforestation trends. This data is highly relevant to open data initiatives, as it demonstrates the power of publicly accessible satellite indices to monitor environmental health. By making NDVI metrics transparent, institutions like INEGI enable citizens and policymakers to track ecological changes over time. Open access to such geospatial data fosters accountability, supports evidence-based environmental planning, and allows for the independent verification of conservation success or failure in real time.
