Business Wire
Planet Labs PBC (NYSE:PL), a leading provider of daily data and
insights about Earth, today announced a 12-month contract renewal
with the Federal Police of Brazil for its global daily monitoring
over threatened rainforests. The contract has a seven-figure value
and was formalized through Planet’s partner SCCON Geospatial
(SCCON).
With the aid of daily satellite imagery, public agents have
reported collecting nearly $3 billion from fines, seized goods, and
frozen assets related to illegal logging and mining. This
represents a 7,500% return on investment for the Ministry of
Justice and Public Safety’s strategic initiative. Through the
country’s Brasil MAIS Program, the renewed contract will enable
more than 100,000 users and more than 500 public institutions to
continue monitoring 8.6 million square kilometers of Brazilian
territory and marine coast areas.
The Federal Police of Brazil maintains order and protects the
country’s property from illegal activity. Illegal deforestation
critically threatens the health of the Amazon Rainforest. Its
enormous size makes it impossible for authorities to physically see
or be everywhere all at once. Planet’s daily satellite imagery not
only helps the RedeMAIS partners map and monitor the country’s
landmass, but also now helps alert users to near real-time changes
in forest cover.
