AMA de RAISG

AMA is a platform developed and supported by the Amazonian Georeferenced Socio-Environmental Information Network (RAISG), whose main purpose is to alert and inform about the main pressures and threats facing the Amazon. These threats include forest fires, deforestation, and land-use changes, both from a historical perspective and in near-real time.

The application seeks to offer citizens, researchers, institutions, and decision-makers a reliable and accessible tool to better understand the socio-environmental dynamics of the Amazon region. Through its features, AMA not only highlights the causes and manifestations of these pressures, but also their direct consequences on the ecosystem, biodiversity, and the communities that depend on the Amazon's ecosystem services.

One of AMA's most notable aspects is that it underscores the importance of conserving priority sites that maintain the region's ecological balance. These sites play an essential role in climate regulation, water provision, biodiversity conservation, and mitigating the effects of climate change. The app also highlights the role of conservation units, the importance of forests and rivers, and the global benefits the Amazon provides to the planet.

The platform is designed with a comprehensive approach that combines interactive maps, clear visualizations, and socio-environmental data curated by RAISG specialists. This ensures an intuitive experience so anyone can explore and learn about the Amazon in a simple way, supported by rigorous and up-to-date information.

Its main features include:

Interactive maps that visualize fires, deforestation, land-use changes, and other pressures.

Specialized reports with reliable data and in-depth analysis of the Amazonian socio-environmental situation.

Alerts in near real time, providing notification of new threats detected in the region.

Educational and technical resources for those who wish to deepen their knowledge of the Amazon.

Information from allies and collaborative networks working together for the conservation and defense of the Amazonian territory.

AMA thus becomes a fundamental tool for those seeking to better understand the complexity of the Amazon and its challenges. Students, researchers, environmental organizations, the media, and citizens in general will find in the app a space to access reliable and up-to-date information, backed by more than a decade of work by RAISG and its partners.

With AMA, exploring the Amazon goes beyond a geographical exercise: it means accessing a comprehensive overview that connects data, maps, and reports to understand how human decisions and environmental phenomena transform this unique ecosystem. At the same time, the app seeks to raise awareness and promote collective action to protect the Amazonian natural and cultural heritage.
