Programs

Monitors and analyzes the main human pressures on the Brazilian Legal Amazon through satellite imagery and information databases. To this end, it combines technological innovations in remote sensing, spatial analysis, and artificial intelligence. Currently, the area maintains eight monitoring activities:

Deforestation;
Forest degradation;
Logging;
Land use and land cover change;
Secondary vegetation;
Official and unofficial roads;
Risk of deforestation; and
Water surface dynamics.

The program also offers training for public servants, university students, and civil society. In addition, it provides data, bulletins, technical reports, and scientific publications to democratize the use of geotechnologies. Finally, the program contributes to the development and evaluation of public policies and private sector actions aimed at the protection and restoration of the Amazon.
