Toda atividade antrópica que transforma, danifica ou destrói as condições originais do meio ambiente possui o ônus da recuperação ambiental. Tal obrigação emana de um dos princípios do direito ambiental brasileiro, o princípio do poluidor-pagador, o qual reconhece que os danos ambientais causados pelas atividades antrópicas devem ser compensados. A compensação visa restabelecer da melhor forma possível as condições originais do meio impactado.
O monitoramento ambiental de projetos de restauração florestal é uma obrigação imposta para o acompanhamento de projetos, e o uso de geotecnologia permite a ampliação do alcance do monitoramento e a geração de um número maior de dados, reduzindo custos e aprimorando as análises.
