Japan and France to partner for protecting the Amazon forest

When someone says the word "tropical", the Amazon is first thing that comes to mind. To protect it, means to preserve the all tropical areas of the Globe. In partnership with other countries the National Institute for Space Research (INPE / MCT) has just launched a program to capacitate technical teams of the countries of South America where the forest stretches, making it possible to fully monitor the region, like the work done by the Institute in the Brazilian Amazon for the last 20 years.

Partnering with France (Institute of Development Research - IRD) and Japan (International Cooperation Agency of Japan - JICA), the Regional Center of the Amazon (CRA) - where the trainings will take place - will permit the distribution of satellite images of the protected ares.
