The goal is to strengthen territorial control and the presence of the State in priority areas to fight illegal deforestation in the Amazon biome, providing support for environmental supervision efforts developed by federal, state and local agencies.
The project will focus on the acquisition of machinery, equipment and inputs to be distributed to Ibama’s support bases inside the biome, which comprises the states of Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima and Tocantins.
Financial support will also equip and ensure the permanence of 200 employees from the National Public Security Force in the Amazon, thus providing logistics support for efforts to combat illegal deforestation and improving the safety of supervision teams and other partners in the field.
