INPE begins the annual PRODES deforestation series

node

Brazil's national space research institute begins producing an annual wall-to-wall satellite map of clear-cut deforestation across the Legal Amazon. It is the decision that makes everything downstream possible: without a consistent series measured the same way each year, none of the later claims about rates rising, falling or accelerating would be checkable.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

  43. Evidence
  44. Supports the existence, method and shape of the annual clear-cut deforestation series for the Brazilian Legal Amazon from 1988 onward. V55 verification basis: the TerraBrasilis portal was probed in this session and returned EGRESS_BLOCKED; no annual value was retrieved. Every specific PRODES figure referred to in this pack is described as commonly reported and flagged as unchecked in the record that mentions it.
