Amazonia Project -- Satellite imagery and REDD contributing to sustainable forest management

- Reducing climate change causes and impacts requires mitigation and adaptation strategies and technologies
- Earth observation technologies and value added solutions enable forest managers and local authorities to observe, locate, monitor and share data. This helps local communities and governments establish appropriate public policies and build capacity to ensure sustainable forest management.
- Sustainable forest governance contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving livelihoods for all communities

There are revealed simple solutions, which are already used in many countries. The big problem of Brasil (I believe) is the access to inspect such areas. For this reason, satellite and aerial imagery helps a lot. The more important thing is to involve communities and other stakeholders to participate in this process. Ideas of applying existing solutions always are brilliant :)
