Restauração em Terras Públicas

This report by the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI/PUC-Rio) and Amazônia 2030 analyzes legal partnership models for restoring degraded public lands in the Brazilian Amazon. It evaluates the current standard of forest concessions against alternatives such as common tenders, common public service concessions, and Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to improve risk distribution and attract private investment through carbon markets.

• Forest concessions are currently the only model used by the Brazilian Public Administration for restoring public lands with private participation, driven by the detailed guidelines of the Law on Public Forest Management (LGFP) and existing experience in forest management concessions.
• Forest concessions may limit large-scale restoration because they apply only to specific land categories and transfer most operational and financial risks to the private concessionaire, which can discourage investment in the complex Amazonian context.
• Common tenders (Licitações Comuns) under Law 14.133/2021 offer a more flexible risk distribution and apply to more land categories. They are particularly suitable for planting in fully protected Conservation Units (UCs), where the government maintains long-term monitoring and conservation responsibilities.
• Common Public Service Concessions and PPPs could be used for restoration if the activity is legally characterized as a public service. PPPs are specifically noted for their ability to include public financial contributions, which could cover security and surveillance costs in high-vulnerability areas of the Amazon.
• The Brazilian Amazon has lost approximately 21% of its original forests (84 million hectares), with about 15 million hectares potentially suitable for restoration. Roughly half of the deforestation in the region occurs on public lands.
• Restoration projects on lands occupied by Traditional Peoples and Communities (PCT) must implement socio-environmental safeguards, including the right to Free, Prior, and Informed Consultation and fair benefit distribution.
