The Peruvian Amazon adopts an alert system to combat deforestation through a technological approach that involves indigenous communities in monitoring their territory. This strategy aims to eliminate illegal activities such as unauthorized logging and mining.

The collaboration between the armed forces and international environmental groups strengthens this initiative. With the use of advanced technologies such as drones and radars, it is expected to effectively protect the fragile Amazonian ecosystem.

Indigenous communities play a crucial role in this surveillance system, which seeks to protect the Peruvian Amazon.

Integrated into Peru’s Amazon and National Surveillance System (Sivan), these communities can send real-time alerts about threats such as drug trafficking or illegal mining. This project reflects the country’s commitment to environmental protection.

The Peruvian Air Force coordinates Sivan in collaboration with Global Conservation, a U.S. organization that employs cutting-edge technology to help native communities monitor their lands.

Indigenous Alert

Through the Geosivan platform, cooperation is facilitated to stop deforestation in indigenous areas, using monitoring from land, air, and space.

In the Manu and Otishii National Parks, a real-time tracking system is already implemented along with the National Service of Natural Protected Areas by the State (Sernanp), using Earth Ranger.

During the presentation of Geosivan, examples of on-the-ground alerts generated by indigenous patrols were shown, facilitating intervention against those who devastate the forest.

These alerts include geographic and photographic references, showing the extent of the areas affected by deforestation.

Sivan will help prevent and address at least seven threats, such as fires, illegal logging, and illicit crops, thus strengthening the conservation of the primary forest.

The Peruvian Congress has declared the implementation of Sivan of national interest, emphasizing the importance of protecting the Amazon, a crucial natural resource for the nation and the world.

The Peruvian Air Force leads this environmental project, focusing on monitoring critical dangers such as fires and illegal plantations in natural reserves.

Community brigades, active in national parks, record precise data to facilitate operations against forest destroyers, using a detailed cartographic database.
