Coordenação Estratégica para o Combate ao Desmatamento na Amazônia

The report analyzes deforestation in the Amazon biome from 2012 to 2021, highlighting that federal public lands and private areas accounted for 45% and 28% of deforestation, respectively. It argues for a coordinated strategy where the federal government focuses on rural settlements and land tenure regularization, while state governments prioritize the implementation of the Forest Code on private lands. The study emphasizes a recent acceleration of deforestation in federal lands and areas without land tenure information, particularly from 2019 onwards, and calls for improved public data integration to enhance transparency and effectiveness.

• Deforestation in the Amazon biome showed a significant increase between 2018 and 2021, with a reported jump of 76%.
• Between 2012 and 2021, federal public lands and private areas were the primary sites of forest loss, concentrating 45% and 28% of the deforested area, respectively, totaling over 55,000 km² in these territories.
• Recent deforestation trends show a sharp increase in federal public lands and areas without land tenure information; between 2018 and 2021, deforestation in these categories rose by 91% and 74%, respectively.
• Rural settlements are a critical priority for the federal government, as they accounted for 54% of deforestation in federal public areas between 2012 and 2021, with nearly 45% of this loss occurring in Pará.
• Non-designated public forests are highly vulnerable to illegal occupation; nearly 80% of these federal areas are registered as private properties in the SICAR, and these occupied areas accounted for 91% of the deforestation in this category from 2012 to 2021.
• In private areas, the extent of accumulated forest loss by 2021 varied by property size: 67% of small properties, 45% of medium properties, and 33% of large properties had been deforested.
• The states of Acre, Amazonas, Mato Grosso, Pará, and Rondônia are the most critical regions, together accounting for 95% of the deforested area within the Amazon biome between 2012 and 2021.
