PPCDAm launched and DETER alerts begin
After the second-highest clearance year in the record, Brazil launches a federal action plan combining enforcement, protected area creation, property embargoes and credit conditionality, and INPE begins DETER, a near-real-time alert system that flags new clearance within days so inspectors can be dispatched. The pairing matters: the plan is only enforceable because the alerts are fast.
Historical — it happened, and the record is settled.

DETER - Real-Time Deforestation Detection System
Supports the distinction between DETER, a rapid alert system built for enforcement, and PRODES, the slower wall-to-wall annual accounting series, and the fact that DETER totals are not the official deforestation rate. V55 verification basis: INPE domains were probed in this session and returned EGRESS_BLOCKED; the system description is stated from the producing model's knowledge.
