É uma grande perda para a ciência, para a gestão pública, para a história do monitoramento do fogo, no Brasil e no mundo, a morte do grande cientista Alberto Setzer. Seu nome estará para sempre associado a todos os resultados que forem conseguidos na proteção dos biomas

Morreu o pesquisador Alberto Setzer, aos 72 anos, em São Paulo, após sofrer um infarto. Ele liderou os primeiros projetos de monitoramento de incêndios e queimadas no Brasil e atuou no Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais por mais de 46 anos. ➡ Assista na #GloboNews:

Estou comovida com tantas mensagens e reportagens que reconhecem e honram a vida do meu pai. Alem de ser um cientista brilhante, ele era uma pessoa linda. Humilde, generoso, tinha uma alma iluminada, cheia de bondade. Tenho imenso orgulho. Que seu legado continue.
