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.

In “When suspicious activity is detected” (2nd paragraph), the verb is in the same voice as in:

AMachines can help humans in forest protection.
BModern drones were used to monitor deforestation.
CThe agencies are trying to protect the environment.
DTechnology is providing data to help assess damage.
ESpace agencies have launched satellites to track fires.

Passive and Active Voice

Gabarito: letra B. A locução verbal "is detected" (2º parágrafo) está na voz passiva — simple present passive (is + past participle). A banca pede a alternativa que também apresenta verbo na voz passiva, independentemente do tempo verbal.

Voz	Estrutura	Exemplo
Ativa	Sujeito pratica a ação	can help, are trying, is providing, have launched
Passiva	Sujeito sofre a ação (to be + past participle)	is detected, were used

Alternativa A — ❌ Incorreta

"Machines can help humans in forest protection." — O verbo "can help" está na voz ativa (modal + verbo principal). Não há construção passiva.

Alternativa B — ✅ Correta ⟵ GABARITO

"Modern drones were used to monitor deforestation." — "were used" é simple past passive (was/were + past participle). A voz é passiva, assim como a frase do enunciado. O tempo verbal (presente x passado) não altera a voz.

Alternativa C — ❌ Incorreta

"The agencies are trying to protect the environment." — "are trying" é present continuous active (sujeito pratica a ação).

Alternativa D — ❌ Incorreta

"Technology is providing data to help assess damage." — "is providing" é present continuous active.

Alternativa E — ❌ Incorreta

"Space agencies have launched satellites to track fires." — "have launched" é present perfect active.

PEGA ESSA DICA!

Para identificar a voz passiva em inglês, busque a estrutura verbo to be + past participle (em qualquer tempo). O foco da oração passa a ser quem sofre a ação, não quem a pratica. Ex.: "is detected" (passiva), "were used" (passiva).

Gabarito: letra B (única com verbo na voz passiva).
