Abstract 
This paper presents an approach aimed at augmenting data availability and monitoring frequency in specific regions of the Amazon Forest. Our proposed system, named the UXV Ecosystem, facilitates the collection of measurements of greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations at various altitudes, surpassing the limitations of average values for each area. By enabling access to different altitudes through diverse unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the UXV Ecosystem improves current environmental surveillance. The main contribution of this research is the development of an integrated architecture that facilitates the coordinated operation of multiple UAVs for data collection. Moreover, we explore various methods to extract and utilize the acquired forest data effectively. Through the implementation of this system, we aim to enhance environmental monitoring, leading to more informed and effective conservation efforts in the Amazon Forest.
