00:00:00 - 00:05:00

The Brazilian Ministry of the Environment is proposing the creation of a unified system to monitor legal deforestation permits issued by states for private rural properties, which will be presented to the Amazon Fund by July 2023. The goal is to create a more agile and intelligent mechanism for data crossing, allowing both state entities and the federal government to demonstrate that vegetation suppression was carried out within legal boundaries. The initiative aims to address the challenge of not all states having advanced monitoring systems. The platform, which is being developed for the Amazon Fund, would facilitate communication between producers and regulatory agencies, enabling producers to demonstrate compliance with environmental regulations and reducing incorrect inspections. The Secretary of the Environment of Mato Grosso has expressed her support for the initiative, which is expected to benefit all parties involved, including individuals, regulatory agencies, and government entities.

• 00:00:00 In this section, the Brazilian Ministry of the Environment is proposing the creation of a system to monitor legal deforestation permits issued by states for private rural properties. The proposal will be presented to the Amazon Fund by July 2023. The Association of Brazilian State Environmental Entities, represented by its president and Mato Grosso's Secretary of the Environment, explains how this monitoring would be done and how it will contribute to accurate data. The initiative emerged in 2023 after preliminary deforestation data in the Cerrado region was released, and the Ministry requested understanding of the legal and illegal deforestation. The goal is to create a unified system for all states to report data, allowing both state entities and the federal government to demonstrate that vegetation suppression was carried out within legal boundaries. This will also facilitate operations and improve data sharing among governments. The challenge is that not all states have advanced monitoring systems, and the initiative aims to create a more agile and intelligent mechanism for data crossing, which can be applied to other Brazilian biomes. The project is being developed for the Amazon Fund, and a preliminary design is already in place, with a presentation to the Ministry expected in May or June 2023.

This platform aims to be used by all relevant authorities and allow citizens access to the data. The benefit of this system is that it would facilitate communication between producers and regulatory agencies, as producers may not always have the necessary documents on hand during inspections. The platform would also enable producers to demonstrate compliance with environmental regulations, reducing incorrect inspections. Overall, this initiative is believed to benefit all parties involved, including individuals, regulatory agencies, and government entities. The Secretary of the Environment of Mato Grosso was also consulted and expressed her support for the initiative.
