At least with mining and logging it leaves evidence in aerial imagery, unlike a clandestine lab. Maybe one day the amazon can be automatically patrolled by drones that mark targets for these smaller squads.

There is a satellite-based surveillance system. What is missing (or was) is will to actually enforce.

Surely it could be scaled better with satellite imagery? Assuming it can be updated "reasonably frequently". I imagine drones would run into maintenance problems, especially in such "remote" regions.

Plus, they can't be running in supplies on foot, under the canopy, or getting the stuff out!
