POR QUE PROTEGER A AMAZÔNIA?

The fact sheet highlights four key Brazilian policy innovations that reduced deforestation in the Amazon between 2004 and 2018 while agricultural GDP continued to grow. These include satellite monitoring (DETER), the identification of priority municipalities, conditional rural credit, and the creation of Conservation Units. The document asserts that these measures protect ecosystem services, combat crime, and facilitate access to international markets.

• Between 2004 and 2018, deforestation was reduced by 80% while agricultural production in the Amazon continued to grow.
• Satellite monitoring and enforcement (DETER) provided near real-time detection of deforestation, preventing the destruction of approximately 27,000 km2 of forest annually and serving as the primary driver for the decline in deforestation rates.
• Other effective policies include the annual publication of priority municipalities for targeted efforts, which reduced deforestation without increasing it in neighboring areas; conditional rural credit based on environmental and land title requirements, which reduced deforestation particularly in cattle-ranching areas; and the strategic creation of Conservation Units to block deforestation advances.
