What is MapBiomas Alert
MapBiomas Alert is a system to validate and refine alerts on deforestation, degradation, and regeneration of native vegetation with high-resolution images. This current version is dedicated exclusively to deforestation in all Brazilian biomes and will expand to the other themes over the next two years.
- Here you can find all the deforestation alerts in Brazil updated monthly
- Selecting an alert visualize in high resolution the image before and after deforestation
- Access the full report of each property that crosses with the selected alert
Understand the MapBiomas Alert
-
The system captures alerts from primary sources of generation
-
Alerts go through a validation and refinement system
-
Validated alerts are published in a public platform
Control of illegal deforestation
The system validates and refines the alerts produced by the various monitoring systems in the Brazilian territory. For each report, a report is produced indicating the deforested areas that were not authorized or that overlap with special areas such as APP and Legal Reserve.
Evaluation of deforestation associated with rural credit
The survey of properties by the CAR's registration code allows the assessment of the deforestation history in private properties to provide greater security to entities in the financial system that are not financing activities that cause deforestation.
Monitor commitments to zero deforestation
Commitments to zero deforestation made by states, municipalities, productive chains or landowners can be monitored through the information available by the system.
Monitoring the integrity of protected areas
The filter of alerts in Conservation Units and Indigenous Lands allows the monitoring of deforestation to ensure the integrity of these protected areas.
Exploring the alerts
The system allows monitoring the history of deforestation by biome or state 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.
