CONTEXTUALIZATION
The project's relevance is underscored by the rising number of forest fires. Between 2021 and 2023, the state experienced a significant increase in forest fire hotspots, according to INPE data. From August to October 2023, fire occurrences reached monthly record highs in the historical series starting in 1998.
In this scenario, CBMAP’s response capacity has fallen significantly short of the challenges faced. Between 2019 and 2023, it is estimated that of the approximately 6,170 satellite alerts, the battalion was unable to address 55% of the incidents. The lack of vehicles, equipment, and appropriate materials, as well as the absence of bases to serve the state's interior, undermines the Fire Brigade's ability to effectively combat environmental incidents.
THE PROJECT
The project is structured into two components: Equipment and Structuring, and Development of Prevention Actions.
The table below provides a summary of the objectives, products, and expected outcomes.

INTERVENTION LOGIC
The project is part of the “monitoring and control” component (2) of the Amazon Fund Logical Framework, contributing to Direct Effect 2.1 – Monitoring, control, and environmental accountability institutions structured and modernized. Nineteen indicators were selected, ten focusing on efficiency and nine on effectiveness.
