12. “Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon is down by a whopping 78% from its recent high in 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)

13. CBERS: China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite
Open access data: 2 millions images distributed by INPE ( )

14. “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.”
