The Amazonian Protection System (Sipam) is an entity linked to the Presidential Staff Office, managed by the Operations and Management Center of the Amazonian Protection System (Censipam). Supported by a complex technological foundation and an institutional network, Sipam works as a systemic organization for producing and delivering technical information. By integrating up-to-date information to subsidize government planning and coordination of global actions for the Brazilian Legal Amazon, Sipam contributes to the protection, inclusion and sustainable development of the Amazonian region.
As such, the system generates products and services of strategic interest for governmental institutions and Amazonian communities, using as input documents produced at the Technical and Operations Centers in Belém, Manaus and Porto Velho. Data is evaluated, treated, disseminated, integrated, and becomes reliable information, which can significantly expand knowledge, as well as subsidize public policies for the region.
