Cancelamento de CAR em Terras Indígenas: Desafios e Propostas para uma Melhor Implementação

The report analyzes the failure of federal and state regulations in Brazil to effectively cancel Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) inscriptions that overlap with Indigenous Lands (TIs). It highlights that current systems often only protect fully homologated lands, leaving TIs in the demarcation process vulnerable to illegal land claims. The authors propose a standardized administrative process for summary cancellation of total overlaps and a notification system for partial overlaps to protect indigenous territorial rights.

• Federal legislation does not provide satisfactory solutions for states to regulate or implement the cancellation of CAR inscriptions that overlap with Indigenous Lands (TIs). Current federal rules, specifically Portaria MAPA º 121/2021, classify such overlaps as 'pending' rather than grounds for cancellation, which does not prevent landowners from accessing rural credit or environmental licenses.
• Most Brazilian states lack specific regulations for CAR overlaps in TIs, often relying on federal rules or having no rules at all. Only São Paulo, Mato Grosso, and Maranhão have specific legislation, but these still contain gaps and are not consistently applied.
