The BCCMTF comprises the following Projects, all under implementation: 8/18/2017 Page 1 of 6 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Platform of Monitoring and Warning of Forest Fires in the Cerrado (P149189) 1 . Platform of Monitoring and Warning of Forest Fires in the Brazilian Cerrado Project, coordinated by National Institute of Spatial Research (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais, INPE). The Project includes a reconfiguration of the structure of INPE’s Burning System, both internally in INPE as well as in users’ Internet access, by adapting the system to the state of the art in remote sensing, geoprocessing, information technology, and decision intelligence. 2 . Rural Environmental Cadastre and Fire Prevention in Bahia Project, implemented by the Bahia State Secretariat of Environment (SEMA-BA). The project’s main activities are to: (i) assist rural landholders to bring their lands into compliance with the Forest Code by implementing the CAR (in the State of Bahia, the system is called CEFIR [Catastro Estadual Florestal de Imóveis Rurais/State Forestry Cadastre of Rural Properties], developed by the State as a broader system than the CAR and covering other environmental aspects); (ii) promote sustainable productive activities; and (iii) strengthen municipal governments’ capacity to prevent and control forest fires. 3 . Rural Environmental Cadastre and Fire Prevention in Piauí Project, implemented by the Secretariat of Environment and Water Resources in Piauí. The project’s main activities are to (i) assist rural landholders to bring their lands into compliance with the Forest Code by implementing the CAR; (ii) promote sustainable productive activities; and (iii) strengthen municipal governments’ capacities to prevent and control forest fires. 4 . ProCerrado Federal Project, coordinated by the Ministry of Environment, in partnership with its operational agencies. The project’s main activity will be to build capacity in federal agencies to coordinate and execute actions to reduce deforestation and fires in the Brazilian Cerrado. 5 . Non-Lending Technical Assistance - DEFRA Cerrado Climate Change Mitigation Program, a Bank-Executed Technical Assistance Project, provides the analytical work, technical assistance and training necessary for the Ministry of Environment and its partners to achieve the goal of mitigating Climate Change in, and improving environmental and natural resource management. This Project has a satisfactory implementation pace.The new TerraMA2-Queimadas platform is being developed by INPE and FUNCATE essentially according to schedule. An alpha-version was validated, meaning that the platform is functioning. INPE plans to release the first "release candidate" version in August 2017 for final tests with users, and the final production version on December 1, 2017.

The site was launched in September 2016 and continues to be tested and improved. As of July 10, 2017, it had already been accessed 25,013 times. As of December 2016, 4,381 data downloads were made. Overall Comments The site was launched in September 2016 and continues to be tested and improved. Website users can obtain: • • the actual status of hotspots for the last two days for any part of the territory; • • visualization of hotspot data at various scales and time periods on the background of geo-environmental data, both generally and with 8/18/2017 Page 3 of 6 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Platform of Monitoring and Warning of Forest Fires in the Cerrado (P149189) special focus on protected areas;19 • • real-time bulletins on detected hotspots, in general and for protected areas, which can be downloaded for further detailed analysis; and • • an analysis of fire risk for any given area, at the current time and with future forecasts. The platform will definitely provide a state-of-the-art, easily accessible and reliable tool to help agencies and people at all levels of government— federal, state and local—as well as private parties to use real-time online information on fire occurrences and risks to monitor hotspots, for the purpose of preventing, fighting and avoiding fires, enforcing laws and regulations on fire use, and planning burnings (as in the MIF).
