The program detects, quantifies and monitors, through satellite images, deforestation and other forms of human pressure.

The general objective of the program is to detect, quantify and monitor, through satellite images, deforestation, forest degradation, logging, unofficial roads and other forms of human pressure in Legal Amazon. The results of the monitoring are combined with several digital maps, through Geographic Information Systems (GIS), for qualification of environmental problems and regional planning. The program also develops proposals for public policies and training in geotechnologies and strategically disseminates its results, contributing to the reduction of deforestation and forest degradation.
