Fires in the Legal Amazon is a typical dry season
phenomenon that recurs annually. They may be
associated with human

Fires occur predominantly in Cerrado areas, transition environments and already open areas

In the last decades, Brazil has built one of the most robust sets of norms and laws
in the world to ensure the sustainable production and rational use of its
natural resources.
Additionally, we have private initiatives in the main production chains that
reinforce this commitment

Monitoring
Brazil has invested and developed very sophisticated systems to
monitor everything that goes on in the Amazon. Today, diff erent agencies monitor the region such as INPE, EMBRAPA, IBGE and CENSIPAM
Official databases are able to show in detail everything that goes on. And these technologies advance every day. They will be increasingly eff ective
