Main uses of PRODES results

Effectiveness of deforestation control policies

Increasing demands of concerned society for governmental actions

Support for policy making at regional and local scales

Public awareness of deforestation in the Amazon (www.obt.inpe.br/prodes)

WGISS-27, Toulouse

But PRODES is not enough …

Results are obtained and published after the damage is done

It is difficult for the government to punish illegal deforestation after it is installed

There are demands for faster information production

DETER project – near real time

Same approach as PRODES with MODIS 250m

Impacts of DETER

Faster information for strategic decisions by the deforestation control agencies

Better efficiency in law enforcement

Immediate public awareness by monthly information dissemination (www.obt.inpe.br/deter)
