GCFimpact and Produce Protect platform

This interactive map is a component of the GCFimpact and Produce Protect Platform to facilitate tracking the performance of key jurisdictions that are on their path to a sustainable rural development.

Efficient monitoring at the territorial scale can strengthen multi-sector commitments to achieve deforestation goals and facilitate the delivery of incentives to the rural economy actors that need to make the transition to low-emission, low-deforestation production systems. We integrate credible data to create a spatio temporal dashboard to monitor and report on the jurisdictional progress towards territorial sustainability goals.

This interactive map lets you to evaluate indicators on forest protection, agricultural production, and social indicators in each of the states and municipalities of Brazil over the last years. The map focusses on the member states of the Governors' Climate and Forests Task Force

Forest protection indicators

This query section allows you to identify municipalities in Brazil according to forest protection indicators.

Options and Methods:

  • State and year: select any of the Amazon states and a year to define temporality and spatial domain of your search.
  • Decrease in annual deforestation from baseline: this box lets you define conditions on the % of the decrease in deforestation respect to the FREL baseline. The current baseline as defined by Brazilian FREL is the average deforestation of the period 1996-2015. The baseline of each municipality is plotted on the Protection tab on the right panel.
  • Annual deforestation area: this box lets you define conditions on the extent of annual deforestation area (km2). The deforestation extent that is shown on the map and the annual deforestation series (1996-2019) correspond to areas and figures reported by PRODES.
  • Percent of municipality in forest cover: adjust the slide bars to define criteria on the share of forest surface as part of the state.
  • Forest cover area: adjust the slide bars to define search criteria on the extent of forest in the municipality (km2).

Results: After clicking on "submit" the system returns the municipalities that meet your search criteria for the selected year. Municipalities are represented by their deforestation area as shown in the legend. An interactive table of municipalities meeting the search criteria and a summary of the defined criteria is also shown.
