%X The aim of this paper is to present the Amazon Regional Center activities based on the Institute missions. Most of the mapping and monitoring projects from Amazon Program are fully developed on the center. In this article two projects will be described: mapping and monitoring land use and land cover areas (TerraClass) and capacity building, for knowledge transference based on INPEs experience on tropical forest monitoring. TerraClass aims to qualify based on satellite images, already deforested areas of the Amazon with biannual frequency. It evaluates the dynamic of land use land cover comparing the changes between the years of 2008 and 2010. The project is developed in partnership with Embrapa Oriental Amazon (CPATU) and Embrapa Information and Agriculture (CNPTIA). Aiming to be considered an international center of orbital technology diffusion on tropical forests monitoring, CRA conducts international training courses, periodically held and counting with specialized infrastructure and a wide number of qualified consultants that minister theoretical and practical classes in four different languages during the courses.
