Restauração Florestal na Amazônia: Qual É o Papel das Políticas Públicas Estaduais?

The report analyzes how state policies in the Brazilian Amazon facilitate or hinder forest restoration. It finds that while states have been pioneers in REDD+ and PSA and are essential for implementing the Forest Code via CAR and PRA, significant gaps remain. These include a lack of integrated governance, insufficient incentives for voluntary restoration, and bureaucratic barriers to native species silviculture. Pará is highlighted as the most advanced state, being the only one with a comprehensive State Native Vegetation Recovery Plan (PRVN-PA) and a mechanism for restoration concessions on public lands.

• Amazonian states have historically acted as laboratories for innovation in environmental policy, often implementing REDD+ and Payment for Environmental Services (PSA) programs before federal initiatives were established.
• State policies predominantly focus on mandatory restoration to comply with legal requirements for Permanent Preservation Areas (APP) and Legal Reserves, leaving voluntary restoration with a lack of robust incentives.
• The carbon market is not yet effectively integrated into most state restoration policies, with the exception of Pará, which links it to forest recovery through concessions.
• Native species silviculture is hindered by bureaucratic authorization processes and a lack of specific promotional policies, although Rondônia is an exception by dispensing with environmental licensing for the activity.
• Pará is the most advanced state in the region, having established the State Native Vegetation Recovery Plan (PRVN-PA) with a goal to restore 5.6 million hectares by 2030, and the only state using restoration concessions for public lands via Native Vegetation Recovery Units (UR).
• There is a significant disparity in the regulatory maturity of the Forest Code's implementation; Mato Grosso and Pará are the most advanced in CAR and PRA, while Roraima lacks sufficient PRA regulation.
• State regulations for the collection, production, and sale of native seeds and seedlings act as a barrier to large-scale restoration because they prioritize agricultural phytosanitary protection over restoration needs.
• Most Amazonian states lack a clear programmatic and institutional alignment between different restoration policies, often treating them in isolation.
