This study examines the impact of human activity on soil and land use in the Farinha river basin, MA, and the Chapada das Mesas National Park over the past two decades. Satellite images from 2012 to 2020 were analysed to determine changes in land use and cover. The results reveal an increase in human activities, particularly grazing, in both areas during this period. This expansion of human activity poses threats to the environment, such as erosion processes, loss of water, soil, and nutrients. It emphasizes the importance of quantifying these losses and understanding their consequences. The findings highlight the need to protect sensitive areas like indigenous lands and conservation units to ensure the preservation and sustainability of natural vegetation and plant growth
