1 INPE s Brazilian Amazon Deforestation and Forest Degradation Program Dalton M. Valeriano ([email protected]) Program Manager

2 Summary PRODES Yearly deforestation inventory DETER - Daily detection of deforestation and forest degradation DEGRAD Yearly Inventory of forest degradation (International capacity building program)

3 INPE s Amazon Deforestation Monitoring Project - PRODES

4 PRODES: INPE s Amazon Monitoring Program Fact Sheet Coverage: Wall-to wall Frequency: Yearly Integration period: Aug-Jul Brazilian Legal Amazon Region: 5 million km 2 Original forest cover: 4 million km 2 Present gross deforested area: ~ km 2 Proportion of secondary forest: ~20% (TerraClass) Resolution Landsat-class (Landsat, CBERS, DMC, SPOT) Method: Visual interpretation Minimum mapping area: 6.25 ha Delivery Schedule: 1 st estimate -90% of previous year, ~100 Scenes : November Complete map: April, next year

5 233 Landsat Images

16 PRODES: INPE s Amazon Monitoring Program Internet Access Full access to source images,maps and statistics

17 PRODES: INPE s Amazon Monitoring Program Transparency paradigm (since 2003): Public awareness Basis for spatial/temporal analysis Basis for carbon emission report Government decision making

18 Km2/year Benchmarks of PRODES products and engagement in national deforestation control program: Release of PRODES products in the internet 2003 PPCDAm conceiving and implementation - Proposal of DETER 2004 PPCDAm formalized DETER implemented 2005 on Reduced deforestation - Agreement with Norway Government AMAZON FUND (a) Yearly Deforestation in Brazilian Amazon (b) (b) (d) Year

19 Média = km

20 PRODES in PPCDAm Global and regional indicator of policy efficiency Criterion for list of critical municipalities

21 Main consequences of PRODES Evaluation of efectivity of deforestation control policies Public awareness of the deforestation in the amazon ( Means for the concerned society to demand governmental action on the issue Support for policy making at regional and local scales

22 But PRODES is not enough... Results are obtained and published after the damage is done Difficulty of the government to punish ilegal deforestation after it is installed Demands for faster information production
