Brazil Uses AI Surveillance to Protect the Amazon Rainforest


Illegal logging, land grabbing, and deforestation have long posed challenges for enforcement agencies. Now, AI-powered surveillance systems are helping track these activities in real time, making forest protection more efficient and inclusive.

Using data from satellites, drones, and ground sensors, Brazil’s AI systems monitor changes in tree cover, land use, and movement patterns. When suspicious activity is detected—such as sudden clearing or unauthorized vehicle entry—alerts are sent to authorities for quick action. This reduces the time between detection and response.

Machine learning models analyze long-term data to identify patterns and predict where future illegal activities might occur. These insights help guide patrols and resource planning, improving safety for rangers and increasing the chances of stopping environmental crimes before they happen.

AI also helps distinguish between natural changes—like seasonal plant shifts—and human-caused damage. This reduces false reports and improves accuracy, saving time and effort. The technology supports transparency by providing visual evidence and data trails that can be used in legal investigations.

Several Brazilian tech startups and global partners are collaborating with the government to expand this effort. Their goal is to ensure that forest protection tools are accessible, sustainable, and respectful of indigenous communities who live in the Amazon.

By using AI responsibly, Brazil is showing how technology can serve both the planet and the people. This approach helps balance development with conservation, offering a model for other countries working to protect natural resources through innovation.

Q3837329 Inglês
The Causative Passive is a structure used to indicate that someone arranges for an action to be done by someone else. Regarding the structure "Have/Get something done", mark T, for true, and F, for false:

(__)The sentence "I had my car repaired" implies that the speaker arranged for a mechanic to fix the car, whereas "I repaired my car" implies the speaker did it personally.
(__)In the structure "Get something done" (e.g., "I need to get my hair cut"), the meaning is essentially the same as "Have something done", but "Get" is generally more informal and common in spoken English.
(__)The causative structure can also describe mishaps or accidental events where the subject experiences something negative, as in "He had his wallet stolen", meaning the theft happened to him, not that he arranged it.
(__)It is grammatically correct to say "I had the mechanic repaired my car" to express the causative meaning, using the past tense of the main verb instead of the past participle.

The voice system allows the speaker to adjust the focus of the proposition, but some verbs bridge the gap between active and passive, known as ergative or labile verbs. Analyze the assertions regarding ergative verbs in English syntax:
I. In the sentence "The window broke," the verb functions intransitively with a passive meaning, despite having active morphology and no explicit agent.
II. Ergative verbs require an agent in the subject position to be grammatically correct in the active voice.
III. "The book reads well" is an example of a middle voice construction where the grammatical subject undergoes the action.

O uso da Língua Inglesa no contexto de Ciência e Tecnologia frequentemente emprega a Voz Passiva (Passive Voice) para conferir impessoalidade e objetividade aos relatos experimentais. Assim, registre V, para as afirmativas verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:
(__)Na frase 'The solution was heated to 100°C', o agente da ação (by phrase) é omitido porque é irrelevante ou desconhecido, focando o processo científico e não o pesquisador.
(__)A transformação da ativa 'Did the team verify the data?' para a passiva resulta em 'Was the data verified by the team?', exigindo o ajuste da concordância verbal caso 'data' seja tratado como plural (latim original), embora o uso como singular seja comum hoje.
(__)O uso da voz passiva é desencorajado em todos os gêneros textuais modernos, incluindo relatórios técnicos, devido à influência do 'Plain English', que exige sempre a voz ativa.

Regarding morphosyntactic structures and verb phrase analysis in the recipe "Cold Kimchi Tomato Bibim Noodles," judge the statements below.

I.The phrasal verb "shake off" in "shake off excess water" consists of a transitive separable phrasal verb where "shake" functions as the lexical verb and "off" as an adverbial particle modifying the verb's meaning to indicate removal or elimination, and this construction could be paraphrased as "remove by shaking" without significant semantic loss.

II.The passive voice construction "until each strand is coated" demonstrates a grammatical transformation from an active equivalent "until the sauce coats each strand," where the patient (each strand) becomes the syntactic subject while the agent (sauce) is demoted or omitted, and this passivization serves the rhetorical function of maintaining focus on the noodles rather than the sauce throughout the instructional sequence.

III.The temporal subordinate clause "until completely cooled" in "rinse under cold water until completely cooled" exhibits ellipsis of the subject and auxiliary verb, with the complete structure being "until [the noodles are] completely cooled," and this syntactic reduction represents a common feature of procedural discourse where redundant elements are omitted for brevity and efficiency.

A voz passiva (Passive Voice) é uma estrutura gramatical em Língua Inglesa usada para mudar o foco da sentença. Enquanto a voz ativa enfatiza quem pratica a ação (agente), a voz passiva enfatiza quem recebe a ação (paciente) ou a própria ação, muitas vezes omitindo o agente. A sua formação correta exige o uso do verbo "to be" no tempo verbal adequado, seguido do particípio passado do verbo principal.

Acerca das regras e usos da voz passiva, marque V, para as afirmativas verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:

(__)Na transformação da ativa ("The company hired new employees.") para a passiva ("New employees were hired by the company."), o objeto da voz ativa torna-se o sujeito da voz passiva.
(__)A voz passiva só pode ser formada com verbos transitivos (que pedem objeto); verbos intransitivos (como *arrive* ou *sleep*) não podem ser usados na voz passiva. 
(__)Para formar a voz passiva no *Present Perfect* (e.g., "The manager has seen the report"), a estrutura correta é "The report has been seen by the manager".
(__)O agente da passiva (introduzido por "by") é frequentemente omitido, especialmente quando o agente é desconhecido, óbvio ou irrelevante para a informação principal.

Driven by pre-salt, oil becomes Brazil's top export

Revenues

The discovery of the pre-salt was so significant for Brazil's oil production potential that it led the government to change the regime that authorized companies to explore the submerged resources.

As a result, the pre-salt areas are governed by the sharing regime. Under this model, surplus oil production—the balance after covering costs—is divided between the company and the Brazilian government. During the auction that authorizes exploration, the company offering the highest share of profits to the federal government is granted the right to explore.

This is distinct from the concession model, which applies to the post-salt period. In this system, the risk of investment and exploration lies with the concessionaire, who becomes the owner of all the oil and gas that may be discovered. In return, the company pays royalties and special participation fees, particularly for large production fields, in addition to a signature bonus upon winning the auction.

New frontiers

texto_16-20.png (410×332)

With the pre-salt expected to reach its peak in the 2030s, Brazil's oil industry, led by Petrobras, is shifting its focus to new oil frontiers that are believed to hold significant production potential.

One such frontier is the so-called equatorial margin, located off Brazil's northern coast, where exploration is pending a favorable decision from the Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama), an agency under the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change.

Another promising region is the Pelotas Basin, located off Brazil's southern coast. The growing interest in this area is fueled by the discovery of oil wells in Uruguay and off the coasts of Namibia and South Africa. Experts suggest that the geological conditions in these regions are similar, as the continents were once joined tens of millions of years ago.

According to Petrobras, the company plans to invest $79 billion in exploring new oil and gas frontiers by 2029. Of this amount, 40 percent will be allocated to the South and Southeast regions, 38 percent to the equatorial margin, with the remainder directed towards other countries.

Downstream: Refining and Marketing

While refining is a complex process, the goal is straightforward: to take crude oil, which is virtually unusable in its natural state, and transform it into petroleum products used for a variety of purposes such as heating homes, fueling vehicles and making petrochemical plastics. Wolcott, Marion Post. Barnsdall oil refinery. Kansas, 1941.

Wolcott, Marion Post. Barnsdall oil refinery. Kansas, 1941. 


A number of processes are involved in refining depending on the wanted end product. Hydrotreating is used to remove unwanted elements, such as sulphur and nitrogen from hydrocarbons; cracking breaks molecules into smaller fragments to produce gasoline and other lighter hydrocarbons. The gases produced by cracking are used to create other products like synthetic rubber and plastics. When making gasoline, refiners need high octane numbers to prevent engine knocking. Despite knowing the dangers of lead, tetraethyl lead was added to gasoline in the United States in the 1920s in order to increase the octane. Since the U.S. government banned lead in vehicle gasoline in 1996 as part of the U.S. Clean Air Act, refineries use alkylation and reforming to develop high-octane gasoline.
