Onde estamos na implementação do Código Florestal: radiografia do CAR e do PRA nos estados brasileiros

The report assesses the progress of the Brazilian Forest Code's implementation in 2022, highlighting a heterogeneous landscape where registration (CAR) is advanced but analysis and regularization (PRA) remain significant bottlenecks. While states like São Paulo and Espírito Santo show leadership in analysis, only 2% of national registries have completed analysis. The document identifies critical gaps in the registration of traditional territories and the slow adoption of the PRA, while noting that some states are integrating CAR data with deforestation alerts to enforce compliance.

• The registration of rural properties in the CAR is well-advanced across all states, with Bahia and Minas Gerais leading the country with approximately one million registries each.
• The analysis of CAR data is the primary bottleneck in the Forest Code's implementation; only about 12% of registries nationwide have undergone technical or automated analysis, and only 2% have fully concluded the analysis process.
• Espírito Santo is the most advanced state in concluding CAR analyses, having finalized 70% of its registries, while São Paulo successfully processed 89% of its base (approximately 362,000 registries) using a streamlined analysis tool in 2022.
• The registration of territories belonging to traditional peoples and communities (PCT) remains limited, with Maranhão (548 collective territories) and Pará (29 CARs) showing the most progress in 2022.
• Implementation of the Environmental Regularization Program (PRA) is slow; only 15 states have effectively regulated the PRA and restoration criteria for Permanent Preservation Areas (APP) and Legal Reserves, while 12 states are considered very delayed.
• Goiás introduced legislation in 2022 that the report describes as a setback, creating a more flexible alternative procedure for regularizing forest liabilities that allows compensation outside the rural property for deforestation occurring after 2008, contrary to federal law.
• Amazonas has integrated CAR monitoring with deforestation alerts from the National Institute for Space Research (Inpe), suspending the CAR of properties where unauthorized forest suppression is identified, which blocks access to credit and animal transport guides.
• The cancellation of CARs overlapping Indigenous Lands (TIs) and public conservation units is urgent; Pará has made the most progress in 2022 by executing cancellations and making data public, though new irregular registrations often offset these efforts.
