Land change is crucial for the world
3
The food challenge
4
The food challenge: technology gaps
5
Forests and food production: potential conflicts
6
Medium-resolution (5-50 m) earth observation satellites data are global public goods Earth observation satellites are essential for measuring land change
7
Full and open access to space-based information is indispensable for global sustainable development

Brazil is the world’s current largest experiment on land change and its effects: will it also happen elsewhere? Today’s questions about Brazil could be tomorrow’s questions for other countries Brazil is the world’s current largest experiment on land change and its effects: will it also happen elsewhere?

“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.”
12
CBERS@INPE: 2 million images (2004-2009) LANDSAT @USGS: 9 million images since 2009 Open access data policy: a qualified success

T2 – Loss of smaller trees How does deforestation happen? T1 – Selective logging T3 – Loss >50% of forestT4 – Loss >90% of forest

Floresta time dialy deforestation alerts Yearly rates of clear cuts INPE’s Monitoring Systems

Daily warnings of newly deforested large areas Real-time Deforestation Monitoring
16
Policing actions: illegal wood seizure 50% of operations in 2% of the area
17
“By 2020, Brazil will reduce deforestation by 80% relative to 2005.” (pres. Lula in Copenhagen COP-15)

Jan-April/2011: 126% increase Keep watching!

“Deforestation in Brazilian Amazonia is down by a whopping 78% from its recent high in 2004. If Brazil can maintain that progress — and Norway has put a US$1-billion reward on the table as encouragement — it would be the biggest environmental success in decades” (Nature, Rio + 20 editorial)
