Progresso na Declaração de Nova Iorque sobre Florestas

The report finds that improvements in forest governance are too slow to measurably reduce deforestation, with natural forest loss increasing by 42% between 2014 and 2017 compared to the previous decade. While some progress exists in transparency and international cooperation to combat illegal logging, significant challenges remain, including widespread corruption, inadequate implementation of existing laws, and increasing violence against land defenders. The report emphasizes that securing legal land rights for indigenous peoples and local communities is more effective for forest protection than legally protected areas, yet a substantial portion of their lands remain unrecognized by governments.

• Natural forest loss accelerated after the adoption of the New York Declaration on Forests; between 2014 and 2017, the average annual rate of natural forest loss was 42% higher than in the preceding decade.
• Weak forest governance results in significant economic and ecological losses, with estimated annual costs exceeding USD 17 billion due to tax evasion, loss of ecosystem functions, and conflicts with forest communities caused by commercial agriculture.
• Illegal deforestation is prevalent, particularly in areas of commercial agriculture. In two-thirds of major timber-producing countries and all major tropical producers of beef, soy, and palm oil, there is a significant risk that one or more forest-related laws are violated during production.
• International cooperation has effectively targeted the illegal timber trade, resulting in the seizure of USD 1.5 billion worth of timber since 2012.
• Emerging Asian economies, specifically China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, and Vietnam, have introduced regulatory demand measures to ban the sale and import of illegally harvested timber, though the effectiveness of these laws is uncertain due to enforcement weaknesses.
• Gender inequality persists in forest governance; women are 24% less likely than men to be actively involved in the decision-making or implementation of REDD+ projects.
• Legal recognition of indigenous and local community land rights is more effective for forest protection than legally protected areas. While the total forest area with recognized rights in 41 countries rose from nearly 11% in 2002 to over 15% in 2017, between 33% and 39% of lands used by these groups in 14 assessed countries remain unrecognized.
• Violence against land and forest defenders has increased annually since 2014, driven by poor recognition of tenure rights, disregard for free, prior, and informed consent, and rising land demand.
