About Forest Transparency

All of this information has been disseminated in monthly bulletins with wide repercussions in the regional and national media. In addition, the maps generated are made available for interactive consultations at the Imazon portal for geographic information, ImazonGeo 2.0 ( www.imazongeo.org.br ). To increase efficiency in assigning liability to environmental violators, the program carries out a series of activities related to environmental law, including: analysis of the performance of administrative and judicial proceedings against environmental crimes; promotion of transparency regarding the situation of environmental proceedings against environmental infractions in Protected Areas in the Amazon; dissemination of the results to law professionals (prosecutors, attorneys general, police chiefs, judges, environmental analysts), members of the legislative branch and civil society; and analysis of the performance of policies for combating illegal deforestation considering factors of environmental policy (i.e. enforcement and levying fines) and the market (i.e. prices for agricultural products).
