The activities of the Amazon Regional Center involve research and scientific development to becoming a world reference center in the monitoring of tropical forests:
• Spreading Geotechnology in the region;• Being an international center for the dissemination of technology
in order to monitor characteristics of tropical forests.
AMAZON REGIONAL CENTER - CRA
Rationale
The largest extensions of tropical forests of the world are located in South America, west Africa and southeast Asia.
In these regions there are also many developing countries and their need for natural resources is threatened by intense and illegal exploration of the forests resources.
Nowadays, the protection of the national forests has became a priority in their agendas, as also has been followed by the international community.
INTERNATIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING
To combat the advance of deforestation, the remote sensing techniques have been a very efficient way to quantify the areas of forest deforested.
Brazil is the only country in the tropical region that has a tropical forest monitoring program, which was developed by the National Institute for Space Research – INPE in 1988.
Considering the importance of the environmental issues to the international community, international organizations such as the Japan International Cooperation Agency – JICA, the Food and Agriculture Organization – FAO and also the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization – ACTO developed efforts to establish partnerships with INPE in order to capacitate foreign technicians to operate the TerraAmazon system, which is responsible for forest monitoring.
