AWAKEN Launches First Digital MRV System in Amazon, Backed by USPTO-Patented Methodology.

Preparation studies conducted by the scientific team in Tamshiyacu Tahuayo Reserve in Amazon rainforest of Peru 

The AWAKEN scientific team, including internationally recognized Ukrainian researchers and scientists from Iquitos, carried out an on-field research visit to the Tamshiyacu Tahuayo Regional Conservation Area (ACR) — the site where AWAKEN’s pilot project will be launched.

The purpose of the visit was to study the ecosystems of the reserve in detail and to identify the optimal location for the installation of a SMEAR tower. This tower will form the core of the first fully digital MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) system in the tropical forests of the Amazon, positioning Loreto at the forefront of global ecological innovation.

The studies will be conducted under AWAKEN’s own patented methodology, officially registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This framework ensures that ecological monitoring, certification, and verification are carried out with the highest level of scientific rigor and transparency.

The SMEAR tower will continuously measure more than 1,200 environmental parameters, including greenhouse gas fluxes, aerosols, soil conditions, canopy processes, and water cycles. Alongside the tower, AWAKEN’s system will integrate eDNA sampling, LiDAR scanning, and satellite-based geospatial modeling — creating a multi-layered digital twin of the rainforest.

This advanced MRV infrastructure will allow for real-time certification of carbon, biodiversity, and water credits, while also providing unprecedented scientific data for climate research. For the first time, the Amazon’s ecosystems will be monitored with the same level of precision as leading climate observatories in Europe and North America.

The Tamshiyacu Tahuayo pilot is set to become a landmark in conservation science, combining local expertise from Loreto with Ukrainian and international research excellence, and laying the foundation for large-scale ecological governance across millions of hectares of Amazon rainforest.
