Salvemos o CAR!

The statement warns that transferring the management of the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) to a ministry lacking technical-operational capacity threatens the integrity of Brazil's Forest Code and the sustainability of its agribusiness sector.

• The Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) serves as a critical environmental diagnostic tool for approximately seven million rural properties, enabling the identification of environmental liabilities, priority areas for restoration, and areas available for productive expansion.
• The Brazilian Forest Service (SFB), currently linked to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MMA), has provided essential technical support to states, including the development of registration modules, dynamic analysis tools to scale CAR processing, and the Environmental Regularization Module (MRA).
• A report by Deputy Isnaldo Bulhões Jr. regarding Provisional Measure (MP) nº 1154/2023 proposes transferring the management of the CAR from the MMA to the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services (MGISP).
• Past experience in April 2022, when the National CAR System (SICAR) migrated to infrastructure managed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA), resulted in system instability, delays in updates, and hindered the integration of state and federal databases.
• The CAR is used as a mechanism to align different policies, such as rural credit, where producers with analyzed and compliant registries receive more subsidies.
