Case Study: Instituto Homem Pantaneiro protects the Pantanal with umgrauemeio's PANTERA wildfire detection solution

Instituto Homem Pantaneiro monitors 2.5M hectares 24/7 with umgrauemeio

Instituto Homem Pantaneiro faced the immense challenge of monitoring 2.5 million hectares of roadless terrain in the Pantanal biome for fires. Conventional monitoring methods were operationally impossible, and satellite detection often provided alerts too late and without precise locations for firefighters, a problem highlighted after the 2020 fires destroyed 30% of the biome.

The vendor umgrauemeio solved this with its PANTERA system, which uses cameras to monitor the horizon 24/7, detecting smoke at great distances. The system provides real-time, precise locations and integrated climate data, allowing firefighters to be dispatched with defined routes even to areas without road access. As a result, umgrauemeio's solution has detected over 3,230 fire outbreaks and helped avoid an estimated 5 million tons of CO₂ emissions.
