📋 Tender Overview
The Osinfor implements technologies that allow real -time to detect illegal activities in concessioned areas and immediately communicate to the authorities.As part of the Executives commitment to sustainable development, the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, through the agency for supervision of forest and wildlife resources (Osinfor), promotes an efficient inspection of the concessioned areas for the use of forest ecosystems. To do this, it implements the use of artificial intelligence, satellite images and selective logging algorithms that contribute to real -time identify illegal activities that affect forests.
This was reported by the head of the Osinfor, Williams Arellano, who said that the entity concentrates its work in formal zones where the State has granted rights, such as forest concessions and authorizations to native communities. In these spaces, the application of technologies generates warnings in a timely manner to focus the intervention.
The precision of the systems is high and allows you to establish the same day if an operation is legal or not, said Arellano. In addition, he explained that in the last two years more than 51 monitoring sheets were issued, which were immediately transferred to regional governments, the Public Ministry and the National Police, entities responsible for acting in the territory.
On the other hand, the head of the agency stressed that the use of artificial intelligence and the intersection of territorial data contributed to detecting around 40 thousand cubic meters of wood extracted illegally, between confirmed cases and that they are in the process of investigation, which is equivalent to about 70 or 80 loaded trucks. Because of this, surveillance in the most critical regions intensified.
Also, Arellano said that the regional platform has been made available to regional governments (OSINFOR Digitized Archives Information System), which facilitates knowing the use of resources. Thanks to this tool, the timely report went from just 8 % in 2008 to more than 90 % today, which allows rapid and reliable evidence to guide surveillance and decision making.
Similarly, the entity prioritizes preventive accompaniment, especially with native communities that have extraction permits. They have an ancestral knowledge that must be complemented with a technical capacity to comply with the regulations, said Arellano.
Finally, the agency recognizes forest producers who comply with the law through compliance records. These documents allow them to access incentives, such as discounts on the rights of use. This strategy seeks to raise the competitiveness of the formal sector and generate confidence in citizenship over the legal origin of the products.
In this way, the Osinfor reaffirms its firm decision to preserve the countrys forest heritage, through an inspection model that combines technology, inter -institutional coordination and recognition of good practices.
