Abstract
Deforestation monitoring and control require scientific tools to increase the impact of official policies under limited resources for environmental law enforcement. In our paper “Science-based Planning Can Support Law Enforcement Actions to Curb Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon” we proposed an index for prioritizing deforestation areas for law enforcement. In this paper, we present an R package that contains both the data and software required to estimate our index. We expect the public and scientific community to check our proposal along with our tool or to use it as a starting point for improving or proposing creative ways to prioritize areas in the Brazilian Amazon for policy or law enforcement actions.
