Additionally, the Brazilian Institute for Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renovaveis) (IBAMA) has initiated a satellite monitoring programme for the other terrestrial biomes in the country. Although the data on the other biomes are not yet as precise as the forest monitoring system for the Amazon biome, INPE and IBAMA are collaborating to develop monitoring systems across the country which can provide data on deforestation and land use that is comparable and continuous (OECD, 2015b). Such information on the status and trends in ecosystem change can enable prioritisation of policy action in sectors and activities which have the most impact on these resources.
