Portuguese term

locação e poligonal de desmatamento

Portuguese to English Tech/Engineering Mining & Minerals / Gems Mining
This word/phrase is exactly how it appears in the source text. I am unable to provide a context as it appears as isolated words/phrases in a table. There is another occurrence of the word "locação"

"planta de quadro de locação"» in this case there is some reference to a Dam (tailings dam).

I am very confused as to the above hence any suggestion would be helpful. My apologies for not being able to provide a relevant context.

Thanks
Mark

I think so, Mark! I believe "locação" refers the location/position of the deforestation area, and the polygons are used to represent that in the map.

More info about polygon maps:

Note from asker:
And "locação" in this context translates to "location"?
Thank you Matheus!
