1 Transparency builds governance Gilberto Câmara National Institute for Space Research (INPE) Brazil http://www.dpi.inpe.br/gilberto GEO Data Sharing WG, Iguaçu, 2012

2 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

8 Nature, 29 July 2010

9 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? Today’s questions about Brazil could be tomorrow’s questions for other countries

10 Até 10% 10 - 20% 20 – 30% 30 – 40% 40 – 50% 50 – 60% 60 – 70% 70 – 80% 80 – 90% 90 – 100% Amazonia (4.000.000 km2 = size of Europe) Deforestation in Amazonia (big problem)

11 “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

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

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

15 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)

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

19 Deforestation hotspots: March-May 2011

20 Deforestation hotspots: June-August 2011

21 166-112 116-113 116-112 30 Tb of data 500.000 lines of code 150 man/years of software dev 200 man/years of interpreters How much it takes to survey Amazonia?

22 “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)

23 Transparency builds governance! CBERS image Science (27 April 2007): “ Brazil´s monitoring system is the envy of the world ”. Deforestation Degradation
