The use of equipment (drone) in monitoring has been increasingly effective, given the exclusion of a number of people in territories of difficult access and risk areas, such as mines, illegal logging sites and invasion of territory.
In addition to the basic practice for piloting the drone, the leaders also received clarifications about the documentation for the use of the equipment, in addition to the risk areas for piloting, assembly, photography and filming, the latter two according to one of the participants, will be of great importance for the GPVIT reports that work in indigenous communities. The practice for secretarial consisted of the preparation of reports among other documents.
The training is carried out by the Indigenous Council of Roraima (CIR) with the support of NIATERO.
