Various authors. System for Monitoring Timber Harvesting (Simex): Mapping logging in Pará state – August 2021 to July 2022. Belém: Imazon, Idesam, Imaflora e ICV.

Between August 2021 and July 2022, 38,552 hectares of logging were detected in the state of Pará, of which 17,897 hectares (46%) were carried out without authorization. The authorized area accounted for 54% of the total mapped, with 20,655 hectares. As for unauthorized activity, most of it was identified within registered rural properties (13,358 hectares or 75% of the total).

ASSESSMENT OF LEGALITY

The data used to verify the legality of management plans in the state was obtained from Simlam-Pará (the State Environment Secretariat’s Environmental Monitoring and Licensing System), the Brazilian Forest Service and IdeflorBio. As for private areas, Simex assesses the consistency of the authorizations issued by the Secretariat, by cross-referencing the information contained in these documents with satellite images. In other areas, such as forests under concession, the system only verifies the existence of authorization for any exploitation detected.
