Fire in the Jaci-Paraná Extractive Reserve, in Porto Velho, Rondônia state.
One month after a presidential decree forbidding fires in the Amazon and Pantanal, Greenpeace flew over Amazonas and Rondônia states to verify how efficient the measure was. Even with the Fire Moratorium, we registered several live heat spots.
Every year, Greenpeace Brazil flies over the Amazon to monitor deforestation build up and forest fires. In August, 2020, flights were made over points with Deter (Real Time Deforestation Detection System) and fire warnings and Prodes (Brazilian Amazon Satellite Monitoring Project), made by Inpe (National Institute for Space Research), in Amazonas and Rondônia states.
