Many arrive during Operação Mata Atlântica em Pé, a task force that state prosecutors coordinate. MapBiomas has analysts validate each alert and refines its outline with a supervised Random Forest classifier. Teams check each alert by satellite comparison, drone or site visit. From June 2023 to August 2026, the Court of Justice of Paraná decided 10 cases that began with or drew on such checks. In six criminal appeals it upheld or imposed convictions, three by reversing acquittals, each over a dissent that called for a forensic exam. In four civil cases it upheld repair orders or kept notices in force. It struck collective damages in one and suspended an order to file a recovery plan in another. Officers testified that the cleared area in the field often exceeds the alert and that flagged vegetation is sometimes not native. No decision rejected the satellite evidence, and no court measured the alerts' accuracy. A further conviction, from a 2018 inspection that predates MapBiomas's alerts, is kept as context.","category":"protective response","unexpected":false,"purpose":"MapBiomas built MapBiomas Alerta to compile, validate and refine deforestation alerts from detection systems across Brazil and to publish each confirmed clearing with a report.","system":"MapBiomas Alerta (the decisions call it 'MapBiomas', 'Mapa Biomas', 'MAP BIOMAS' or 'Alerta Biomas')","model_version":null,"developer":"MapBiomas (MapBiomas Alerta), which compiles source alerts from other detection systems","deployer":"Polícia Militar Ambiental do Paraná (Batalhão de Polícia Ambiental Força Verde), Paraná's military environmental police, often in Operação Mata Atlântica em Pé with the Ministério Público do Paraná, which brought the cases","location":"Paraná, Brazil (cases from Ortigueira, Londrina, Altônia, Prudentópolis, Rio Negro, Guarapuava, Laranjeiras do Sul, Piraí do Sul and Castro)","domain":"Environmental enforcement: Atlantic Forest clearing","segment":null,"benefit_type":"Improved Environmental Sustainability","work_activities":["4.A.1.b.1","4.A.1.a.2"],"taxonomy_note":"The decisions document enforcement against illegal clearing.

MapBiomas has analysts validate each alert and refines its outline with a supervised Random Forest classifier. Teams check each alert by satellite comparison, drone or site visit. From June 2023 to August 2026, the Court of Justice of Paraná decided 10 cases that began with or drew on such checks. In six criminal appeals it upheld or imposed convictions, three by reversing acquittals, each over a dissent that called for a forensic exam. In four civil cases it upheld repair orders or kept notices in force. It struck collective damages in one and suspended an order to file a recovery plan in another. Officers testified that the cleared area in the field often exceeds the alert and that flagged vegetation is sometimes not native. No decision rejected the satellite evidence, and no court measured the alerts' accuracy.
