السؤال 5
a. يرجى وصف كيفية تنفيذ المبادرة بما في ذلك التطورات والخطوات الرئيسية وأنشطة الرصد والتقييم والتسلسل الزمني 300) كلمة كحد أقصى)
In mid-2016, after a national report indicating the state of Bahia as having lost the most vegetation in the Atlantic Forest biome, the state management team, assisted by the environmental technical team, started to implement technological tools for monitoring the native vegetation, obtaining in 2017 the first practical results: monitored polygons. The field inspection actions and application of administrative penalties to infractors started being based on these data. Over time, the number of monitored polygons and actions to repress deforestation had increased and other needs related to the management of native vegetation emerged. In 2021, an ordinance established the program's goals and constituted a work team responsible for defining the strategies to achieve these goals and to coordinate the implementation of these strategies.
b. يرجى توضيح العقبات التي ووجهت وكيف تم التغلب عليها (100 كلمة كحد أقصى)
The obstacles faced while implementing the program were of technical, technological and financial order, as well as of government management. To overcome the technical, technological and financial challenges, processes were developed coupled with automated image download and pre-processing systems that allowed the monitoring cycle to be carried out nearly in real time, making costs irrelevant and all inputs and software came from free sources, while the operational technical team was the one that INEMA already had. To overcome management obstacles, institutionalization through a legal act was the main success factor.
السؤال 6
a. يرجى توضيح الطرق المبتكرة للمبادرة في سياق بلدك أو منطقتك (100 كلمة كحد أقصى)
The initiative was established based on the identification of the lack of accurate information about the loss of native vegetation, which led to failures in the implementation of management actions on this vegetation. The creation of computerized systems that allow mapping the loss and restoration of native vegetation makes it possible to establish management actions that are much more agile and effective in the conservation of biomes. Besides this, the fact that the program is implemented at a very low cost.
b. يرجى وصف ، إذا كان ذلك مناسبًا ، كيف استلهمت المبادرة من المبادرات الناجحة الأخرى في المناطق والبلدان والمحليات الأخرى (100 كلمة كحد أقصى)
Based on the demand for accurate information about the loss of native vegetation, the inspiration for implementing the tool was the remote monitoring carried out for many years in the Amazon by the Space Research Institute (IMPE), renowned in the scientific community. It was necessary to adapt part of the processes and its technical characteristics to the reality of the territory of the State, and from the development of the monitoring tool, several other actions were increased, leading to the creation of the HARPIA PROGRAM for managing native vegetation in the state.
c. إذا تم استخدام التقنيات الناشئة والرائدة، فيرجى ذكر كيفية دمجها في المبادرة و / أو كيف احتضنت المبادرة الحكومة الإلكترونية
The development of the monitoring tool involves the use of geotechnologies.
