Real-time Deforestation Monitoring
“By 2020, Brazil will reduce deforestation by 80% relative to 2005.” (pres. Lula in Copenhagen COP-15)
Transparency builds governance
500.000 registrations46 million protests
Policing actions: illegal wood seizure
50% of operations in 2% of the area
Transparency builds governance!

TerraAmazon – open source software for large-scale land change monitoring
Innovative software for environmental monitoring(technology transfer to developing nations)
“Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon is down by a whopping 78% from its recent high in 2004. If Brazil can maintain that progress, it would be the biggest environmental success story in decades, and would set an example to other countries that want to protect their tropical forests.” (Editorial, 7 June 2012)
CBERS: China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite
Open access data: 2 millions images distributed by INPE (2005-2011)
“A few satellites can cover the entire globe, but there needs to be a system in place to ensure their images are readily available to everyone who needs them. Brazil has set an important precedent by making its Earth-observation data available, and the rest of the world should follow suit.”
CBERS as a global satellite
CBERS ground stations will cover most of the Earth’s land mass between 300N and 300S
