Main uses of PRODES results
Effectiveness of deforestation control policies
Increasing demands of concerned society for governmental actions
Support for policy making at regional and local scales
Public awareness of deforestation in the Amazon (www.obt.inpe.br/prodes)
WGISS-27, Toulouse
But PRODES is not enough …
Results are obtained and published after the damage is done
It is difficult for the government to punish illegal deforestation after it is installed
There are demands for faster information production

Same approach as PRODES with MODIS 250m
