The MapBiomas Alerta platform reports any validated loss of natural vegetation based on high-resolution satellite imagery. MapBiomas does not evaluate the legality, responsibility, and/or restrictions regarding the validated and published alerts on the MapBiomas Alerta platform. Therefore, users interested in using the information contained in deforestation reports, including financial institutions, are responsible for evaluating such information based on documents and information obtained from the parties involved or competent public agencies.

 MapBiomas is not responsible for the decisions made by these bodies and institutions based on the published alerts, as these contain objective and concrete data on the existence of deforestation (loss of native vegetation).
