According to Timbeter’s founder and CEO, Ms Anna-Greta Tsahkna, the world is watching Brazil over what is happening in the Amazon forests.
She said that it was clear that Brazil is back at the center of global climate change policymaking.
“For Timbeter, this is a new, important breakthrough on the way to becoming a global standard for precision forestry. For us, the signing of this cooperation agreement at COP27 has a significant meaning, clearly demonstrating that Rio Grande do Norte is ready to boldly implement changes in the forest sector.
“Timbeter’s technology has been very well received by the private sector in Brazil, and we are very happy to expand cooperation with the public sector, because only in the cooperation of the public and private sectors can big changes be implemented,” said Ms Tsahkna.
Timbeter makes it possible to speed up the measurement process and streamline environmental monitoring activities in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. The goal is to support the digitalization of the forest sector, increase transparency and enhance supervision.
Timbeter’s digital tax application enables quick and easy reporting on wood purchase-sale transactions, which helps to increase transparency and make the control of the timber supply chain more effective. In addition, Timbeter is developing fully automated forest inventory functionality, which ensures digital data-based carbon accounting.
The agreement was witnessed by the Minister of the Environment of Estonia, Mr Madis Kallas, who confirmed that “cooperation in the implementation and distribution of green technology solutions around the world is important for the Estonian government”.
“I am hopeful that today’s cooperation agreement between Timbeter and Rio Grande do Norte State of Brazil will be a clear sign of a long-term friendship between two countries,” he said.
The Governor of Rio Grande do Norde, Ms Fatima Bezerra, said: “I am very happy about the innovative cooperation started today. Following the example of Timbeter’s collaboration in the state of Pernambuco, established in 2021, we aim to expand the use of Timbeter solution to all Brazilian states, especially to the Amazonian states, as these states implement forward-looking cooperation technological solutions to reduce illegal deforestation. “
