What is MapBiomas Alert

MapBiomas Alert is a system that validates and refines deforestation alerts with high-resolution images. In one free and open access platform, we gather all deforestation alerts in the country's territory and cross them with relevant information such as authorizations, embargoes, property's registry numbers, protected areas, indigenous lands, etc.

Here you can find all the updated deforestation alerts in Brazil generated by different institutions
By selecting an alert, you can visualize high resolution images of the area before and after the deforestation
Access the full report of each alert or property that crosses with the selected alert

Control of illegal deforestation

The system validates and refines the alerts produced by the various monitoring systems in the Brazilian territory. For each alert, a report is produced indicating the deforested areas that were not authorized or that overlap with special areas such as permanent protected areas and Legal Reserves.

Rural credit without financing deforestation

Searching properties by their number on the national registry allows the assessment of the deforestation history in private properties and provides transparency to financial institutions to avoid financing deforestation drivers.

Monitoring zero-deforestation commitments

Zero-deforestation commitments made by states, municipalities, productive chains or companies can be monitored through the information available in the system.

Monitoramento da integridade das áreas protegidas

The filter of alerts in Conservation Units and Indigenous Lands allows monitoring deforestation to ensure the integrity of these protected areas.

Exploring the alerts

The system allows monitoring the history of deforestation by in several scales and geographical units through graphs and statistics to understand the dynamics of deforestation and subsidize the planning of actions that ensure the sustainable development of the Brazilian territory.
