In Brazil, public policies must adapt to education and not to inculturation. When deforestation happens, it really affects ecosystems. Roads improve access to forests, and deforestation has environmental impacts: it provides adequate habitat for some species, but reduces and fragments other habitats, degrades waterways and water quality, promotes the spread of invasive alien species that lead to wildlife mortality and loss, and even local climate change. As the Amazon, capitalism undermines our natural wealth and harms our natural lives. We need to change this policy. Is IBGE responsible for distinguishing between legal Amazon? No. The legal Amazon was defined in Supplementary Law No. 124 of 01.03.2007 and is the responsibility of the Superintendence of Development of the Amazon – SUDAM for any change in its boundaries. About 55% of all indigenous peoples living in Brazil live in the legal Amazon. Environmental degradation, aggravated by deforestation, has a direct impact on the preservation of the natural environment and has serious consequences for the Amazon ecosystem. On October 11, 1977, Complementary Law No.

31 created the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, abolishing the limit established by the 16th parallel. The entire state of Mato Grosso becomes part of the legal Amazon. However, the campaign to integrate the region into the national economy has had an impact on the environment, which is still being felt and combated. As one of the last major tropical timber reserves in the world, the Amazon region is facing an accelerated process of degradation due to predatory and illegal exploitation of the product. Another problem is expansive agriculture, with an old-fashioned production model that requires vast tracts of land. There are also development projects that enter rivers in the form of large hydroelectric plants and mining provinces in the form of legal and illegal mining. All this happens even in protected areas such as indigenous lands and conservation units. The legal definition of the Brazilian Amazon has always been linked to the creation of public authorities and the implementation of government policy.

The first definition dates back to 1953 by Law No. 1.806 of 06.01.1953, which created the supervision of the Amazon Economic Upgrading Plan – SPVEA and defined its area of activity, which includes the region of the states of Pará and Amazonas; the federal territories of Acre, Amapá, Guaporé and Rio Branco; and also the part of the state of Mato Grosso north of the 16th parallel, the part of the state of Goiás north of the 13th parallel and the part of Maranhão west of the meridian 44º. It was a geopolitical construction aimed at defining an area of application of territorial and economic policy, integrating the northern extent of the Brazilian territory into the socio-economic fabric of the country, thus guaranteeing sovereignty over the territory. Here`s how to link to this article: What is legal Amazon? Environmental dictionary. (o)) echo, Rio de Janeiro, November 2014. Available in: . Access to: XX (day) xxx. (months) XXXX (year). The term legal Amazon has only been included in recent laws such as Law No. 11.952 of 25.06.2009 and the Forest Law (Law No. 12.651 of 25.05.2012) and does not appear explicitly in the laws that have defined the Brazilian Amazon in recent decades for public policy purposes.

The use of the adjective “legal” is due to the need to distinguish the section defined by the legislation of the Amazon by the biome or river basin, as well as by the international Amazon. The creation of the legal Amazon is one of the competences of the Union, which, according to Article 43 of the Federal Constitution, can articulate its actions within the same geo-economic and social complex in order to develop and reduce regional disparities. In this sense, the legal Amazon was created with the aim of defining the geographical delimitation of the political region, which provides tax incentives to promote its regional development. The legal Amazon is an area of 5,217,423 square kilometers, covering 61% of all Brazilian territory. With this device, the Brazilian Amazon was referred to as a legal Amazon, the result of a political concept rather than a geographical imperative, i.e. the need for the government to plan and promote the development of the region. It represents an area of about 5,217,423 square kilometers, or about 61% of Brazil`s territory. The region was therefore defined by law, regardless of whether or not its territory belonged to the Amazon basin, whether its ecosystem consisted of tropical rainforest or any other similar criterion. I would like to understand it better because I live in a town in Mato Grosso that is part of the legal Amazon, but I have never studied it. What`s wrong with each other?????? Stop mixing religion with global issues and political action! The developed countries have made mistakes in the past, have destroyed their forests and can and must therefore express their opinion, yes, so that we do not make the same mistakes and settle for what remains of our Amazon! There is no quality where criticism is not allowed! For your information, France is one of the countries that contributes the most to the Amazon Fund. Also called the Brazilian Amazon, it was introduced by Law No. 1.806/1953 under the Vargas government.

From then on, the states of Mato Grosso, Tocantins (at the time of Goiás) and half of Maranhão (up to the meridian of 44º) were incorporated into the region, not necessarily on this occasion, but legislation allowed it later. With this definition, the government wanted to bring development to the region. In terms of the term legal Amazon, it is a region of plnejamento. It is a decision of the Brazilian government, for a strategic planning issue, the regional development proposal, to establish a legal delimitation of the Amazon, which includes the states of the northern region and the state of Maranhão. That is, it is a management strategy when funds are allocated to the development of this legally defined region,” says Isaque Sousa, professor of geography at the State University of Amazonas (UEA). In addition to natural issues, there are also political issues. And being part of the legal Amazon means having access to resources,” he adds. Where can I learn more about Amazon Legal? This information can be found on the SUDAM website repositorio.sudam.gov.br/sudam/sudam/regimento-interno-sudam.pdf/view, repositorio.sudam.gov.br/sudam/prda/publicacoes-institucionais And in the studies published by IBGE as geostatistics of natural resources of the legal Amazon, the link consulted: www.ibge.gov.br/geociencias/organizacao-do-territorio/estrutura-territorial/15819-amazonia-legal.html?=&t=o-que-e October 9 In 1953, the decree 35600 approved the regulation of the Amazon Economic Development Plan. In 1966, Law 5173 of October 27, 1966 (extinction of SPVEA and creation of SUDAM) reinvented the concept of legal Amazon for planning purposes.

In order to integrate an increasingly sparse and underdeveloped region, Law 1.806 of 01.06.1953 created the Superintendence (now extinct) of the Plan for the Economic Development of the Amazon (SPVEA) and annexed the Brazilian Amazon, the states of Maranhão, Goiás and Mato Grosso. This legal provision also stipulated that this area should be designated as a legal Amazon and focused on combating the economic underdevelopment of this part of the country. In 1966, SPVEA was replaced by the Amazon Development Superintendence (SUDAM), an agency that, in addition to coordinating and monitoring the programs and plans of other federal agencies, often even developed and executed. The Federal Constitution of 5 October 1988 established the State of Tocantins and transformed the federal territories of Roraima and Amapá into federal states (transitional provisions, articles 13 and 14). Thus, the parallel that divided the former state of Goiás and bordered the territory of the legal Amazon has been replaced by the political borders between Goiás and Tocantins. The international Amazon corresponds to an area of northern South America that includes nine countries: Brazil, French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. How often does the legal Amazon update? As this is a legal extract, the demarcation will only be updated when the laws or regulations of these extracts are updated. There may be updates regarding the territorial division of Brazil that affect the boundaries and nomenclatures of municipalities and states. What is happening today with the state of Amazonia and Udesrepeito with this policy arises that practices only use our wealth of the Brazilian people as politicians of Currupitos Use of all changing conditions of workers In 2018 we go from u change we are not going to this tramp who is taken everything our people want to embrace for a nation struggle of Brazil is the fourth largest Global emitter of gaseous carbon dioxide (one of the main culprits of global warming) and about 70% of national emissions come from deforestation and combustion.
