O Brasil sabe como deter o desmatamento na Amazônia

The document highlights the success of Brazil's monitoring and enforcement strategy, specifically the DETER system, in reducing Amazon deforestation. It provides evidence that these measures avoided significant forest loss between 2007 and 2016 without harming agricultural productivity. The brief warns that proposed budget cuts to these systems could lead to a 45% increase in deforestation and urges the federal government to restore financial and institutional support.

• The implementation of a strategic action plan in 2004 contributed to a reduction in the Amazon deforestation rate of more than 80% over a ten-year period.
• Analysis by CPI/NAPC PUC-Rio estimates that monitoring and law enforcement efforts prevented an average annual loss of 27,000 km² of Amazon forest between 2007 and 2016, meaning total loss would have been over four times higher without these measures.
• The DETER system, developed by INPE, provides near real-time satellite monitoring that allows IBAMA to identify illegal deforestation quickly and apply administrative sanctions, such as fines and equipment destruction, which are most effective when offenders are caught in the act.
• Evidence suggests that environmental enforcement does not hinder local agricultural production; in fact, areas with higher enforcement presence typically saw improved agricultural production in the following year.
• The monitoring and enforcement strategy is highly cost-effective, with an estimated annual cost of US$685 million (combined INPE and IBAMA budgets) that is far outweighed by the benefit of avoiding nearly 1 billion tCO2 emissions per year.
• Proposed budget reductions for environmental monitoring and law enforcement for 2020 could potentially increase deforestation in the Amazon by 45%.
