Construindo um futuro verde para a Amazônia: uma abordagem sistêmica ao desenvolvimento.

Abstract

The deforestation of the Legal Amazon is one of the greatest environmental challenges faced by Brazil. Over the last few decades, the region has suffered from a high rate of deforestation, which results in loss of biodiversity, soil degradation and contribution to climate change. A temporal analysis of deforestation indicates that, despite ups and downs over the years, deforestation in the Legal Amazon has remained at a worrying level. In recent years, there has been an increase in deforestation, especially in native forest areas. There are several reasons for deforestation in the region, such as the expansion of agriculture, illegal logging and disorderly occupation. In addition, the lack of inspection and effective punishment for those responsible for deforestation also contributes to the problem. To mitigate deforestation in the Legal Amazon and ensure the sustainability of the region, it is necessary to adopt a multidisciplinary approach. This includes the implementation of public policies that encourage forest conservation, the expansion of conservation units and land title regularization. In addition, it is essential to strengthen inspection and punishment of those responsible for illegal deforestation. This can be done by increasing the number of environmental inspectors, creating an efficient monitoring system and applying more severe fines and penalties for those who break the law. Another important solution is to encourage sustainable land use practices in the region. This includes support for agroforestry, family farming and sustainable forest management initiatives, which ensure conscious exploitation of natural resources without the need for deforestation. Finally, it is essential that society as a whole becomes aware of the importance of the Legal Amazon for the environmental balance of the country and the world. This involves environmental education and the establishment of partnerships between governments, civil society and the private sector to guarantee the protection of the forest and the sustainable development of the region. In short, the issue of deforestation in the Legal Amazon requires a joint effort by different actors and the adoption of effective measures to guarantee forest conservation. Only with adequate public policies, efficient inspection and sustainable land use practices will it be possible to mitigate deforestation and guarantee the preservation of the Legal Amazon.
