Apagão de dados de desmatamento no Cerrado seria grave retrocesso

The document warns that Brazil may stop producing official deforestation data for the Cerrado biome in April 2022 because the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) lacks guaranteed funding. It asserts that such a 'data blackout' would hinder scientific production, limit civil society access to information, and prevent the productive sector from using transparency as a commercial advantage in global markets. The text highlights that nearly half of the Cerrado's native vegetation has already been deforested, primarily driven by agricultural expansion, and that maintaining monitoring is a low-cost investment with high potential benefits for meeting climate goals.

• Brazil faces a potential loss of official deforestation data for the Cerrado starting in April 2022 because the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) does not have guaranteed funds to continue monitoring, despite possessing the necessary technical capacity.
• The absence of monitoring data will negatively impact scientific research, restrict information access for civil society, and hinder the Brazilian productive sector's ability to implement transparency practices as a competitive edge in international markets.
• Nearly 50% of the Cerrado's native vegetation has been deforested, largely due to the expansion of agriculture and livestock; without data, Brazil will be unable to monitor its climate targets, risking its international reputation.
