OPENING SESSION
Objective:
Debate on international cooperation and financing for forest protection,
addressing climate change and promoting sustainable development in
the Amazon, with the perspectives of Brazilian and international leaders.

T he master of the cerimony, Waldemar Wirsig, stressed the need to defend

the Amazon and the importance of traditional knowledge for climate
balance in the opening moment.

“The event aims to highlight the actions of States for sustainable

development and an opportunity to strengthen partnerships and engage
new partners.”

The Minister for Environment of Brazil, José Sarney, pointed out the
advances and obstacles to the control of deforestation in the Amazon. The
main advance was the reversal of the deforestation curve by 16% in relation
to the previous period and the decrease of deforestation in the Federal
conservation units by 28 percent, noting that National Forest (Flona) of
Jamanxim had the sharpest drop, of 65.6 percent in the last period.

“Other advances were the improvement of deforestation control systems,

the recovery of the native forests, strengthening of inspection, and
updating the list of priority Amazon municipalities for deforestation
combat.”

He emphasized the importance of expanding efforts towards the zero

deforestation in the Amazon until 2030, according to the Paris Agreement,
and intensifying command and control actions. He highlighted the increase
in budget for that line of operation and the direct relation between budget
decrease/increase and deforestation reduction/increase. He also called for
an increase in the use of resources to combat forest fires, since command and
control are not enough to reduce deforestation. The minister also highlighted
the potential for exploration of ecological tourism in conservation areas,
extractivism and sustainable
management.

Another aspect is the situation

of those who contribute to avoid
deforestation and do their part
in maintaining the stocks. The
MMA is in negotiation with the
Amazon Fund/BNDES to launch
the environmental conservation
program support, an evolution of
the Bolsa Verde program, aimed
at sustainable use and riparian
conservation units.

“Payments for Environmental

Services have a more
transformative role than simply
José Sarney Filho, Minister of Environment of Brazil
transferring income, because it
engages families in the efforts to
conserve environmental resources.”

At the national level, ENREDD+ (the National Strategy for REDD+) continues
to be implemented with the aim of contributing to climate change mitigation
by eliminating illegal deforestation, conservation and recognition of the low-
carbon sustainable forest economy, generating social and environmental
benefits. The country has a decentralized funding policy, as in the case of the
states of Acre and Mato Grosso.

“ It is now necessary to mobilize more international payments resources

for environmental services. Market instruments should facilitate the
ambition of countries and therefore the government advocates the market
model with clean and transparent development, with environmental
integrity, clear rules and measurement of results as indicated in the
Nationally Determined Contributions.”
 Finally, the Minister acknowledged
the contributions of Germany and
Norway in their appreciation of the
efforts to combat deforestation and
the need to extend these actions to
the Cerrado.

The Minister of Climate and

Environment of Norway,
Vidar Helgesen, stressed the
country’s need to meet NDC’s
goals by 2030 and the actions that
are contributing to it, such as the
success of the soy moratorium,
which reduced deforestation by
about 30 percent, and the role of
indigenous populations in achieving
those goals.
Vidar Helgesen, Minister of Environment of Norway

“The Amazon Fund/BNDES is

an important tool to promote sustainable development actions. Continued
action is needed, in addition to the ongoing commitment to keep
deforestation rates under control.”

The Minister affirmed that the engagement of civil society is fundamental to

achieve goals and that 16 percent reduction is very positive.

“Brazil has all the tools and knowledge to stop deforestation. Economic
growth must go hand in hand with environmental preservation. For this,
partnerships between government, civil society and the private sector are
fundamental.”

The Deputy Minister of Economic Cooperation and Development

of Germany (BMZ), Thomas Silberhorn, highlighted Germany’s long
standing engagement for forest protection in the Amazon since 1992 that
originated today’s initiatives: the pilot program to Conserve the Brazilian
Rainforest (PPG7) is the historical
starting point for Germany’s
forest preservation partnerships,
as the Rio 92 Conference is seen
as the starting point for the Paris
Agreement and the Agenda 2030.

Germany’s engagement today aims

at supporting Brazil’s ambitions
towards a more economic, social
and ecological development.

“Tropical forests are like

turbines for the global climate,
preserve a great diversity of
species and is inhabited by
25 million people, largely by
indigenous populations. It is Thomas Silberhorn, Deputy Minister of
disturbing that worldwide 7.6 Economic Cooperation and Development of
Germany (BMZ)
million hectares are lost each
year.

“According to IPCCC’s estimates 11 percent of the total CO2 emissions

are caused by deforestation. We cannot afford to lose forests! Protecting
forests is a joint responsibility, however it is firstly the Brazilian
government that bears most of the burden.

“We congratulate the Brazilian Government: Minister Sarney hand in

hand with State Governors have introduced and continue to implement
sound policies to combat deforestation. The recent reduction is a great
success and we therefore encourage the Brazilian Government to stay on
this path and continuously demand also the protection of indigenous lands.

“Forest conservation and sustainable development are not mutually

exclusive. The conservation of the Amazon rainforest is essential for the
economic development of Brazil.
 “Reforestation has great potential. The challenge is to restore 12 million
hectares. Reforestation improves soil fertility and avoids erosion.

“Germany together with its partners will continue to support Brazil in

reaching its ambitions to protect the Amazon. Together with Norway
and the UK, we have committed to invest €5 billion in global forest
conservation by 2020. Together with Norway, we support the Amazon
Funds – worldwide the first national fund for Forest and Climate
Protection. We would like to announce today another €35 million for the
fund.

“But funding is not enough. One must think big and each one must do
their task. Half of the deforestation that is happening today is caused by
agricultural production, e.g. palm oil, soja and beef. It is our joint duty to
support actions on different levels to mitigate climate change around the
world and ensure that people live with dignity.”

In a video message, the Minister

of Energy and Climate Changes
of the United Kingdom, Claire
Perry, annouced the donation of
£ 19 million to Brazil and Peru,
together with Norway and Germany,
in a collective effort between the
private sector and the government
to curb deforestation and accelerate
the Amazon conservation.

The Governor of the State

of Pará, Simão Jatene,
representative of the Forum
of Governors of the Legal
Amazon, highlighted the
symbolism of the event, when
Simão Jatene, Governor of the State of Pará
for the first time the leaders seek
the future of the region and come to speak to Brazil and the world about
possibilities, limits and commitments.

He considers that the environmental challenge must necessarily be linked to

the other global challenge: reducing poverty and inequality, which must go
hand in hand.

“It is necessary to change the view of the Amazon as a mythical place and
include socioeconomics in all debates for the construction of a sustainable
economy for the region. It takes a triple revolution: 1. through knowledge,
without which we will not be able to overcome the challenge of preserving
and building; 2. through production: an alliance for production that is
able to understand that the concept of production has to be extracted from
the economics books and applied to real life; and 3. through new forms of
management and governance, capable of integrating actors to the same
commitment.That can go beyond the question of transparency and the
construction of cooperative governance.”

The representative of
indigenous peoples, Chief
Raoni Kayapó, spoke in Kayapó,
with the help of his interpreter, the
coordinator of the Raoni Institute
and his grandson, Patxon Metuktire.
After the acknowledgements, Chief
Raoni said that he was one of the
only people there who cared about
the welfare of all people, indigenous,
white and other societies; and the
preservation of the environment
and forests is fundamental for this
collective well-being.

“Indigenous populations are

also growing and need natural
Chief Raoni, representative of indigenous people
resources. If deforestation
 continues, the heat will increase. All people are brothers and sisters and
must live in peace with one another. The indigenous people were on that
land before white men arrived and everyone has the same origin.”

The chief emphasized the importance of demarcating indigenous lands and

strengthening FUNAI, since it is what guarantees of indigenous peoples’ way
of life in Brazil. He emphasized that he never accepted offers from miners,
loggers or any money from dams, because he was never in favour of these
people’s proposals. He called for support from Germany, Britain and Norway
to help protect the resources that indigenous peoples need. He concluded by
saying that it is important for white men to understand that the indigenous
way of life is different from white men’s.

The civil society representative, the Executive Director of IPAM,

André Guimarães, pointed out that indigenous lands have experienced a
temperature increase in the last ten years, as well as the region surrounding
these areas. This change has
consequences for agriculture,
livestock and survival of all species.

Guimarães also stressed the need to

allocate the 70 thousand hectares
of undesignated Amazonian lands,
which are being deforested; and
conduct initiatives for the 25
thousand hectares of private areas
that can be legally deforested.
He quoted U.S. former President
Barack Obama, who once said that
“we are the first generation to have
full understanding of the trouble
we have gotten ourselves into, and
we are the last generation that has
the responsibility of reversing this
André Guimarães, Executive Diretor of IPAM
process”.
Grosso and Acre state systems of environmental services incentives. The new
funds came from Germany government to the Amazon Fund/BNDES (€33.92
million) after the deforestation rate has dropt in 2015, and to the state of Acre
(€10 million) for good results in 2017 – the resources will be invested in forest
protection and benefits to extrativists and indigenous people.

The state of Mato Grosso was also granted by Germany with €10 million for
its efforts in controlling deforestation. Both states were also granted with
resources from United Kingdom government; £23 million for Mato Grosso and
£17 million for Acre.

PANEL 1 thematic session 1
Partnership for the sustainable development of the Amazon and climate stabilization

Objective:
To promote the exchange among international, national and local
Brazilian actors on the protection of tropical forests and the planet’s
climate. Mobilize resources for the conservation of the Amazon. Discuss
how private international funds and institutions can contribute more
effectively at regional and local levels in the Amazon biome.

T he moderator Paulo Moutinho, senior researcher of IPAM,

started with some guiding questions: How do we go beyond from what
we have done so far? How can we maintain development without destroying
forests?

The Governor of Mato Grosso, Pedro Taques, highlighted the

dimensions of the Mato Grosso state and the importance of a commitment
between the Executive power, the society and the productive sector, and the
need to preserve the forest and plant food, since 25 percent of the grains
produced in Brazil come from this state, in an area of 10 million hectares. The
administration of Mato Grosso intends to meet the targets for 2020 and 2030
and is on the right track because it already protects about 64 percent of its
territory (in conservation units, indigenous lands, legal reserves, and areas of
permanent preservation).

“It is because of these two needs, of preserving and producing, that the
‘Produce, Conserve, Include’ strategy (PCI) is important to the state.
Through that, no trees will be cut and all production will be done in the
16 thousand hectares of pasture. The state currently has 30 million heads
of cattle. From 2015 to 2017, the PCI brought international recognition to
Mato Grosso, with disbursements from Norway, Germany and the United
Kingdom.”

The state has 40,000 indigenous people, who occupy 6,000 hectares, and
the Governor said he was the only one in the Amazon who invited indigenous
representatives to make speeches on his inauguration day. Sustainable
development has to be thought from the social and environmental point of
view, but not forgetting the economic one, Taques said.

The Governor of Acre, Tião Viana, said his State received €30 million, and
this was an important step for isolated communities. Twenty-one years ago,
there were 300 communities without access to public policies and today all of
them are taken care of. Acre already has the best ways to achieve sustainable
development, but it is necessary to gain scale.

“One solution is to develop a model that ensures a smart economy, on

ethical grounds. The state has 13% of cleared areas. The other 87% should
be conserved with sustainable use.”

BNDES supported a movement of fish production in the state, as well as a

nursery centre (production of 30 thousand units per year) and the extraction
of nuts and rubber trees with the involvement of 4,000 families. This initiative
has achieved good economic results, to the point where demands are greater
than the capacity of the state to meet them. However, there is not an industrial
platform to generate scale for the fish yet. Other initiatives are the planting
of chestnut trees and rubber trees for commercialization. Also, the University
of Gastronomy of Acre was created. But there is still a need to value the
Amazonian platforms and achieve scale.

The Director for Infrastructure and Sustainability of BNDES,

Marilene Ramos, pointed that the differences between the states were
evident in the speech of the two Governors. We have not only a difference
between states but also between sectors, actors.

She quoted Chief Raoni and his warning that he did not want loggers, but to
generate income for his communities without logging or mining. The Amazon
Fund/BNDES is a powerful instrument for the populations of the Amazon,
Ramos said. When Mato Grosso administration mentions ‘Produce, Conserve,
Include’ strategy with the mission of being the world’s great barn, we cannot
think of the same kind of instruments for all.
 “We have to pay attention, because Brazil is going through a fiscal crisis
that makes investments impossible. Our interest rates are high, even with
low inflation. In order to develop low carbon agriculture and intensive
livestock, which will demand more areas that will be deforested, we need
to have a source of income for this. We also have to scale. Exit the local
scale pilot projects and move to far-reaching, regional-scale projects
to strengthen what we want, which is a preserved Amazon, ensuring
sustainability and development. After all, 30 million people live there.”

The moderator provoked the debate with further questions: How can we
finance all of this when there are, on the other hand, a series of credit
mechanisms headed in the opposite direction? We need to invest in those who
are moving towards sustainability.

Answering to the moderator’s question, the partner of Kaeté

Investimentos Luis Laranja highlighted the innovative model of the Fund
for Investment and Participation in Sustainable Enterprises in the Amazon,
which was originally born in the BNDES six years ago. The idea of the fund
was to support businesses that were aligned with conservation and social
impact policies. The BNDES had a proposal to support up to 80 percent of the
financial resources of this fund and Governor Tião Viana promptly adhered to
the proposal, making a financial contribution to Acre.

The logic is to provide resources for the Amazon via a market instrument that
considers externalities from a social and environmental point of view. Three
investments were made in Acre, and one in Pará, which is ending.

“The challenge is to leave the pilot scale and scale up these enterprises.
They have demand from Europe and the U.S., but the biggest bottleneck
is scaling up to generate financial returns and broaden social and
environmental impacts in the region.”

The Director of the HDI Territorial Global Program, Daan Wensing,

pointed that deforestation control requires an environment that conducts these
actions to municipal level, translating state goals for the local administration,
as well as monitoring. He also asked for strong targets that favour investment
in a more sustainable path.

“These are also necessary conditions: loan to invest, restoration of

Permanent Protected Areas and incentives to promote integration with
the market.”

The Deputy Director-General for North Africa, Middle East, South-

Eastern and Eastern Europe and Latin America of the BMZ,
Christiane Bogemann-Hagedorn, stressed that it is necessary to discover
how sustainability can be disseminated within economic activities and that
she admires the Brazilian Government for the excellent work achieved in the
context of the preservation of the Amazon.

“There are three most important aspects for Germany, regarding the
conservation of the Amazon: 1. correct framework conditions in the
context of the coordination of forest protection; 2. inclusion of all actors
is also crucial and decisive for the success of investments; and 3. the
protection of the forest and the economy, profitability and production
should not be opposing elements, but should run together.”

Marilene Ramos, from BNDES: We need to move to far-reaching, regional-scale projects

Questions from the audience
Are governors willing to discuss proper benefits-sharing, to work
transparently, and involve indigenous people in decision-making?
- Francisca Costa, from OPIAC

• Pedro Taques, Governor of Mato Grosso:

In Mato Grosso, the “I” in PCI stands for “Inclusion”. So traditional
populations, often invisible, must be heard.

We have a project to combat forest fires. We have to create a bigger

structure to combat them. Are the BNDES and the Fund interested
in moving to a second stage, once we are in the middle of the
Amazon?
- Congressman Xuxu Dal Molin, from Social Christian Party-Mato
Grosso

• Pedro Taques:
It is impossible to control fires with helicopters. In our
administration, the fires were reduced by 70 percent because we
increased resources by 300 percent. We thank the governments of
Germany, Norway and the United Kingdom for the investments.

• Marilene Ramos, Director for Infrastructure and Sustainability of

BNDES:
The Amazon Fund/BNDES supports the fire-fighting centres and we
have a large contract with IBAMA at the national fire-fighting centre
in Brazil. We need to have a coordinated action among IBAMA, Chico
Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBIO), FUNAI,
and indigenous communities and seek to develop projects that are
replicable and have synergy so as not to duplicate efforts.
PANEL 1 thematic session 2
Partnership for the sustainable development of the Amazon and climate stabilization

Objective:
To promote the exchange among international, national and local
Brazilian actors on the protection of tropical forests and the planet’s
climate. Mobilize resources for the conservation of the Amazon. Discuss
how private international funds and institutions can contribute more
effectively at regional and local levels in the Amazon biome.

T he Vice-Governor of Rondônia, Daniel Pereira, opened the session

saying Rondônia was the first state to institute a socio-economic zoning
model, thirty years ago. But it is not easy to maintain that. At the same time,
there are people who are committed, and others who are not. About 87 percent
of properties in Rondônia are registered in the Environmental Rural Registry
(CAR).

“The recent development of an agenda with the other governors shows the
need for everyone to work together. Rondônia is the largest producer of
captive fish in Brazil with a production that goes far beyond the capacity
of State industries.”

The Governor of Tocantins, Marcelo Miranda, remembered his state

was created with the 1988 Brazilian Constitution and, as a new state and “the
portal of the Legal Amazon”, it has a long way to go. Neverthless, the state has
sought to do its part for the environment.

“Tocantins was the Brazilian state that most reduced deforestation

in the last year, 55 percent, thanks to a lot of work and investment in
environmental policies. The administration is now moving towards
a coalition with current partners, as the President Michel Temer, the
Minister José Sarney, the German Government, BNDES and others.”

He also cited the creation of the Amazon Protection Committee (COPAL) to

combat forest fires, and he highlighted the importance of the support from
 Daniel Pereira, from Rondônia: there is a need for all Amazonian states to work together

Germany and Norway governments, and the need for support from the private
sector, to curb deforestation.

The President of IBAMA, Suely Araújo, said it is fundamental to have the

base of the CAR validated to reinforce what IBAMA has already been doing,
which are the remote operations. Throughout 2017, Mato Grosso has been
monitored and property owners charged without field operations, but for this
happens a consistent basis was necessary, otherwise it was not confirmed in
the field.

“In some places, the rate of deforestation is high, and regularization

is chaotic, so field operations end up being directed to these situations
where you cannot do it remotely. The biggest problem of the remote
system is that it detects deforestation after it happened. Even with so
 much technology, a complementary form of joint assessment in the field is
needed.”

The Amazon Fund/BNDES has funded helicopters and inspection cars. The
areas where Brazil has most reduced deforestation are those where IBAMA was
called to go to field along with the states, Suely said.

From the private sector perspective, the Director of Sustainability of

Walmart, Katherine Neebe, told his company is very concerned about
deforestation in its products chains, especially beef. One of the resources used
to monitor de product chain is the Global Forest Watch tool, created by World
Resources Institute (WRI). She said tt has been a useful map since 1997, that
has given good visibility to show that the Walmart’s beef chain is free from
deforestation.

“This tool has focused on the Amazon but is expanding to other biomes.
Walmart also wants to focus on the breeding of the animals that are part
of this chain.”

The Director of Norway’s International Climate and Forest Initiative

(NICFI), Per Fredrik Ilsaas Pharo, highlighted the large productivity gap
in agriculture: there is potential for improvement in terms of productivity, but
a high risk of investing in deforestation-free chains.

“To minimize risks, one has to think of two criteria: 1. an environment

that favours this type of attitude and the fulfilment of the commitments
by the states; and 2. an independent nature of the business financing
that meet a number of criteria: 1. there must be investment for forest
restoration/protection; 2. productivity must be increased; and 3. involve
small landowners and help them increase productivity so that their
income grows without having to cause deforestation.”

Mato Grosso was the first state to conform. Per Pharo said it is necessary to
change the perception to encourage the public-private partnership in order to
boost these investments.
Questions from the audience
What are the plans to combat deforestation in the BR-319 road
region? Both command and control and sustainable alternatives for
this region.
- Dresden, Master’s student, worked at IDESAM:

• Suely Araújo, President of IBAMA:

We have licenses that involve more than one state and are under
IBAMA. It is a priority area today. Not exactly the BR-319 road
region but the entire interface among Amazonas, Acre and Rondônia
states. It is an area with more field conflicts in the Amazon. Like
I said, we are going to 30 percent of the places we should go. It is
necessary to have regional planning about what goes to the region
and about the Ministry of Environment and the state administrations
that should give resources to that region. But in terms of inspection
it is what it is already set and will continue to be.

About an economic decline, does anyone think of it, as some

countries are already talking about it? How can there be infinite
growth in a region that has finite natural resources?
- Debora, Ph.D. student in Germany

• Daniel Pereira, Vice-Governor of Rondônia:

There is the need to preserve the Amazon. We want to propose
sustainable alternatives that can be explored in the Amazon.
Reforestation aims to reduce pressure on native forests and capture
carbon dioxide. Another alternative is the question of fish farming.
Rondônia has a well- developed action on this, producing first
quality protein. The species of the Amazon are only produced in a
healthy environment.
Suely Araújo, from IBAMA: We are going to 30% of the places in the Amazon we should go.

What is the biggest difficulty for the private sector to advance in

this challenge of zero deforestation?
- Steve Schwartzman, from EDF

• Katherine Neebe, Director of Sustainability of Walmart:

I and some of my partners are working hard for zero deforestation,
creating certification commitments. Overall, we still believe that
our work should have a greater impact in the field. If I had a good
answer, I would be putting it into practice. We have to work together
to understand and come to a consensus view. The signal from the
market is strong, but not as strong as we expected. It would be useful
to try to find out what is happening and to be able to replicate.

• Paulo Barreto, senior researcher of IMAZON:

We have the challenge of bringing all the companies to the same
boat, to walk together, otherwise the leak occurs. This stronger
coordination of the private sector is essential. When people make the
decision of not buying, companies end up changing.
PANEL 2 thematic session 1
Challenges and opportunities for the sustainable development of the Amazon

Objective:
New light on the challenges and opportunities for the sustainable
development of the Amazon, having as main themes: i. Implementation
of the Forest Code; ii. Control of deforestation; iii. Sustainable
production; and iv. Funding for the conservation of the Amazon.
Challenges should be addressed as opportunities for incentives to
regional and local economies, as well as innovations in the fight against
deforestation.

T he panel started with the Secretary for Environment of the State of

Amazonas, Marcelo Dutra, saying his state has the same responsibility
as the size of its forest: Amazonas has an area of 157 million hectares and
almost 150 thousand hectares of standing forest.

States, he said, have a responsibility to preserve this forest. The resources

we receive for protection in the Amazonas need to be implemented with
the guarantee that everything will be done efficiently and effectively. He
also highlithetd Amazonas is working closely to Pará in order to develop its
monitoring system and then develop a larger system that will cover both states.

“We have a large piece of unowned land, which is the first to be squatted.
Squatting attracts prostitution, gunmen, and others. But we can do
forest concession. We have the potential to work with concession in 600
thousand hectares of state forests. And we also have the Taboca system,
for example, that will only mine the waste for 20 years. In short, we have
the sustainable bases that respect the indigenous areas.”

The Director-General of the Brazilian Forest Service (SFB),

Raimundo Deusdará, explained the department mission is to promote
the sustainable forest system based on the insertion of forests as a strategic
asset in the country’s environmental agenda. SFB stands out as a development
agency that promotes sustainable forest development. In addition, the SFB is
responsible for managing the CAR. There are 440 thousand hectares in the
base of the Environmental Rural Registry (CAR), which was only possible
because the producers accepted the CAR as a strategic tool to have agricultural
production with respect to the environment.

Regarding concession, the SFB has about 1.4 million hectares under
concession. The concession is a public-private partnership established after
undergoing an exhaustive process of consultation.

“The concession is a structuring action of protection and possibility

of production with sustainability that brings a series of benefits: less
environmental impact possible, adds value, direct jobs generated in very
poor regions. The three main problems of extending concessions are
problems still from the 1970s: logistics; land issue; competing with illegal
timber. It is hard to produce legal timber, it is costly and then there is
competition with illegal timber.”

Raimundo Deusdará, from SFB: forests are a strategic asset in Brazil’s environmental agenda
The moderator, Coordinator of the Brazilian Climate, Forest and
Agriculture Coalition, Marcelo Furtado, highlighted three important
elements in the two opening speeches: the transversality of resources; to have
data transparency, and accountability.

“The one who operates legally has to be privileged.”

Furtado asked the next speaker: What does the world want from Brazil in this
sense, and particularly from promotion mechanisms? How do you see this
mechanism, being from outside Brazil?

The Director of Environmental Defense Fund, Steve Schwartzman,

answered that Brazil has long argued that credits should come from something
like carbon credits or something like that.

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has the United Nations standard.
Carbon credit would be extremely rich for environmental integrity. But a group
of NGOs (EDF, IDESAM, Bolsa de Valores Ambientais - BVRIO) conducted a
study to assess environmental integrity and they detected many constraints.
There are three dams - Santo Antônio, Girau and Teles Pires - in the Amazon
whose projects generated carbon credits in the CDM. The dams have been built
and are operating. They needed carbon credits to be built.

“The CDM has to support sustainable projects in the country where the
project takes place. But there are controversies in the dams. They are
socially investigable. There are suspicions in the Lava Jato corruption
investigations, bribery, money laundering. It is difficult to defend this
model as something for the future. It is important to stop supporting these
initiatives.”

The Manager of the Climate Change and REDD Program of the

Institute of Conservation and Sustainable Development of the
Amazon (IDESAM), Pedro Soares, explained that his organization works
in the REDD+ line and for the last five years has supported the Governors Task
Force (GCF).
He said it has been a learning process to work with states and there is no
doubt that states will play a leading role in achieving NDC’s goal. The Amazon
continues to be the most relevant factor for achieving the national goal.

“The agricultural sector accounts for 30 percent of Brazil’s GHG emissions.

We cannot continue to discuss the Amazon only from an environmental
point of view. It has to have a share in the economy of global GDP. To
clear deforestation by 2030, we must go further: more resources; new
approaches; complementary instruments; a basket of investments and
remove the imbalance between economy and the conserved Amazon area.”

With regards to REDD+, three points should be highlighted: 1. increased

efforts to reduce emissions: it is necessary to increase the ambition of the goals
because only then can REDD be an interesting instrument; 2. mechanisms
to avoid double accountability; and 3. as for the idea that it is complicated to
monitor deforestation reduction, we have to have robust MRV system and we
already have ways to do this.

Questions from the audience

For Brazil, in what context is the application of Article 6 (Kyoto
Protocol)?
Christoph Thies, from Greenpeace

• Pedro Soares, Program Manager at IDESAM:

Today Article 6 would be inefficient because countries targets are not
ambitious enough. We have to increase the ambition of the targets.

• Marcelo Furtado, Coordinator of the Brazilian Climate, Forest and

Agriculture Coalition:
We have to invest in research and produce foods with higher carbon
sequestration.

• Steve Schwartzman, Director of Environmental Defense Fund:

The trading position has not changed in the last few years. It is a
continuation of the CDM model and the consequences are terrible.
The prospect of starting a discussion about the great progress
we have made shows that it is possible to increase agricultural
production and reduce deforestation. We need to explore an offset
scheme to cause further reductions at global level more efficiently
and with less cost.

How can we deal with the advance of deforestation, including in

concession areas?
- Alex Holanda, from AMATA

• Raimundo Deusdará, Director-General of the Brazilian Forest

Service (SFB):
Deforestation occurs outside concession areas for forest
management. Our goal is to have along with the states about 7
thousand hectare in the concession regime, with 30 percent of
the wood demand being able to be served by legal wood. One of
the major problems of the concession was the confusion between
publicity and privatization. The concessions were not privatization
of the forest. It is, in fact, the opposite: to create the possibility of
sustainable management.

The second message is that sustainable forest management is legal

deforestation. It is not. In forest management, only about six trees
per hectare are removed. Impact is low and cost is high. And it is
absolutely sustainable.

How does Secretary Marcelo Dutra see the relation between market
mechanisms and the BR-319 road resurfacing? How can we use
these mechanisms to mitigate the impacts of this resurfacing?
- Vanilton Santos, from Secretary of Environment of Amazonas

• Marcelo Dutra, Secretary for Environment of the State of

Amazonas:
We have already promoted some conservation initiatives. Without
access to that region, there is no command and control. It is access to
management and control. We still have alternatives that do not bring
deforestation along the road.

How do you see the relationship between economic crisis and

reduction of deforestation?
- Name not stated

• Pedro Soares:
In 2015, when we had a recession in Brazil, we had an increase
in deforestation. The recession has led to an increase for lack of
economic alternatives in remote regions.

• Steve Schwartzman:
As Pedro Soares said, in 2015 there was an economic crisis in Brazil
and deforestation in the Amazon increased. This never happened.
Now in 2017, the crisis has eased and deforestation has fallen again.
We need to understand this dynamic better.

• Marcelo Dutra:
In 2015-16 we also had reduction of resources in command and
control, but we had disbursement of resources for IBAMA. It is
difficult to know where we have made better progress in order to
define.
PANEL 2 thematic session 2
Challenges and opportunities for the sustainable development of the Amazon

Objective:
New light on the challenges and opportunities for the sustainable
development of the Amazon, having as main themes: i. Implementation
of the Forest Code; ii. Control of deforestation; iii. Sustainable
production; and iv. Funding for the conservation of the Amazon.
Challenges should be addressed as opportunities for incentives to
regional and local economies, as well as innovations in the fight against
deforestation.

T he moderator, the Secretary-General of Brazilian Fund for

Biodiversity (Funbio), Rosa Lemos de Sá, started the session with a
question to the first panelists: What do you have on the state positive agenda to
attract donations?

In order to answer the question, the Governor of Roraima, Suely

Campos, presented her state: it is the least populated state in the federation,
with 516 thousand inhabitants, and about 66 percent of the area is preserved;
it is a young state as well and the administration is still structuring itself
with tools like the exclusive economic zone (EEZ), the Environmental Rural
Registry (CAR), and land regularization phase, to guarantee the legal security
of the lands.

“We contribute to the survival of the planet. It is one of the most conserved
of the country: 42 percent of the state has regularized indigenous areas.
Keeping the forest is a commitment of the people from Roraima. For 12
years the rate has been falling. The reduction now was 42 percent.

Roraima had experienced an economic growth: GDP was up 1.2 percent, the
production of grains, specially rice, has recovered and low carbon agriculture
practices are growing, including auccessful experiments also in agriculture-
forest systems and organic agriculture, as well as livestock with farming. It
is the first time the state takes part as a member of the GCF and COP 23, in
initiates to meet global development goals.

“We have great soil that we do not need to deforest. We have, however,
thermoelectric plants that contradict our environmental preservation.
Roraima needs investments in wind, solar and biomass energy. Reducing
bureaucracy to access investment funds, which take five, six years to be
accessed.”

The state has signed the Rio Branco Declaration on the commitment to reduce
deforestation by 80 percent until 2020, but the governor said it is necessary to
invest in the productive chain of sustainability.

“We, governors, propose to transform the wealth of the Amazon into

benefits for the Brazilian people. That ensures people’s happiness.”

The Secretary of Environment of Maranhão, Marcelo Coelho, listed

current challenges, such as a great economic loss in recent years. He said
the Governor of Maranhão, Flávio Dino, has managed to keep the economy
balanced. However, this balance has not been easy, and the country and the
world have to tackle it together.

He reembered the State of Maranhão is located in an area with good

accessibility, with a port with an ideal depth for trade, railways such as the
Transnordestina, which need be better exploited and great potential for wind
power generation.

“Regarding the expectation of environmental policies in the state, there

are two elements: The Environmental Education Plan, which reaches
the indigenous population, civil society, quilombola people, and private
sector; and the Maranhão Verde Program, to protect rivers. It took R$ 5
million to implement this program, which is a reference in the protection
of water and forestry resources. But more resources are needed.”

The President of Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency

(Apex-Brasil), Roberto Jaguaribe, said Amazonian states have great
potential to develop through exports: Maranhão, for instance, has a port with
great significance and several development alternatives; Roraima is situated in
an area with preservation, but with significant agricultural potential.

“There is no environmental sustainability if not associated with economic,

social and even political sustainability. The question is: how to make
political sustainability happen to other sustainability areas, including
fiscal sustainability? As long as there is no economic balance, these
issues are weakened. Brazil is the country that has most contributed to
controlling climate change. However, there is a mismatch between what
Brazil is and its image.”

Jaguaribe pointed Apex has an interest in sustainable production, hence its

involvement with sustainable production. The agency, he said, helps exports
and in the case of Amazon there is no single answer. Every state has a vocation.

Rodrigo Faleiro, from FUNAI: most of indigenous production can integrate to the market
 “It is important to generate sustainable economy with economic viability,
the Green Bonds, both inside and outside the states. Brazilian agriculture
generates forest conservation. The rational introduction of sugarcane
improves the conservation of areas and thus generates sustainable
production. Management needs to be improved to facilitate this type of
supply in the international market. But the market is not yet ready to pay
more for sustainability.”

The Director of Promotion of Sustainable Development of National

Indian Foundation (FUNAI), Rodrigo Faleiro, pointed out that FUNAI
has a large workload due to the growing population of indigenous people. The
Indigenous Lands encompass 14 percent of the Brazilian territory, with a broad
diversity, from isolated Indians to those who live with the urban population.
This diversity has repercussions on the decisions that concern consultative
protocols, territorial and environmental management plans, among others.

“About 90 percent of indigenous lands are in the Amazon and most of

these peoples also have the option to produce in a more sustainable way
and integrate to the market. Not only financing is important, but also
its good use or even other types of development such as the patent issue,
which moves millions of dollars every year and contributes to climate
change control.”

FUNAI is implementing the National Policy of Territorial and. Environmental

Management of Brazilian Indigenous Lands (PNGATI) in order to strengthen
the indigenous lands governance. There are also other economic options for
them, such as ecotourism and a proper extraction of resources.

As entrepreneur, the Managing Partner of the Toca Farm, Pedro Paulo

Diniz, spoke about the importance of regeneration because little has been said
about the loss of biodiversity and pollinating insects. He also said scale organic
farming is not simple and that it takes investment to make it work.

“It is necessary to stimulate regenerating actions, like agriculture that

regenerates the soil.”
Questions from the audience
How can we develop conservation units as drivers of development
rather than development problems?
- Mariane Nardi, from Secretary of Environment of Amapá

• Suely Campos, Governor of Roraima:

Our state has all its environmental reserves intact. We are studying
how this can turn into sustainability and people’s survival. It’s
something still being developed.

• Marcelo Coelho, Secretary of Environment of Maranhão:

“More HDI” (Human Development Index) Program, which brings
sustainable agriculture to the poorest municipalities, is our answer.
We launch environmental parks. As a form of park protection, we
get people to use these spaces, and we used the conservation units as
a way to keep the park standing. Education and development of the
people living in these parks are also very important.

How can we make a business start through actions and then

generate income?
- Victor Salviati, from FAS

• Pedro Paulo Diniz, Managing Partner of the Toca Farm:

We have an interesting model with IPAM. We work with family
agriculture in the Amazon. Models may seem complex at first but
can quickly become more profitable. For the small farmer, the
agroforestry model is very good.

• Rodrigo, Director of Promotion of Sustainable Development of

FUNAI:
 We have alternatives of mechanized agriculture but also organic
production among the natives. It ends up being a counterpoint.
We have examples that are incipient in the area of FUNAI. Many
groups have expressed interest in exploring tourism. The diversity of
peoples in Brazil will only bring contributions as long as we provide
space.

• Roberto Jaguaribe, President of Apex-Brasil:

With modern and effective agriculture and preserving the
environment. You have to balance the advantages between illegal
and legal timber. Inspection brings contradictions to sustainability.
We need an effective network. There is no easy solution. We need to
work on the basis of what proves feasible.

Pedro Paulo Diniz, from Toca Farm: form the small farmer, the agroforestry model is very good
PANEL 3
Impacts and challenges of the Amazon Fund/BNDES

Objective:
Impacts and challenges of the Amazon Fund/BNDES as an effective
mechanism for climate finance, and raise questions on how to promote
a sustainable forest economy in the region.

T he Head of the Amazon Fund/BNDES, Juliana Santiago,

introduced the subject saying it is the largest REDD operational fund in
the world with impact results for beneficiaries. The Fund’s main objective is
to combine technologies with traditional knowledge, acting on the four axes
of the Brazilian Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Deforestation in
the Legal Amazon (PPCDAm).

Santiago said the Amazon Fund/BNDES is one of the main instruments

to subsidize sustainable alternatives so that the local population does not
generate deforestation. There are 89 supported projects and 20 percent of the
resources can support projects outside the biome in monitoring actions.

“Between 2004 and 2017 there was a 76 percent of reduction in

deforestation. This was the main contribution to the reduction of global
greenhouse gas emissions. The challenge is great: 18 percent of the
Amazon has been deforested. Finally, the challenge of the Amazon does
not only mean conservation and preservation, but is mainly concerned
with the social inclusion of 29 million Brazilians who live there, many of
whom live below the poverty line.”

The Secretary of Biodiversity of the Ministry of Environment of

Brazil, José Pedro Costa, said it has contributed in several ways to the
Amazon Fund/BNDES. In the challenges posed for forest replenishment, we
have a program called Biodiversity Connectors.

“If there is no possibility of plants and animals connectivity, there will be

massive extinction with a rise of 2 degrees Celsius. It is necessary to have
 well-established scientific work, but connectivity is also related to the issue
of cultures. The indigenous communities hold a large part of the Amazon,
so it is necessary to integrate climate, social and biodiversity issues.”

The Mayor of Marechal Taumatugo (Acre), Isaac Piyako, said

his people, the Ashaninka, worked in the early 1990s when the Federal
Government said that we would have the territory, although we already had the
right because we had been there before.

“We realized that our territory was scarce. We then worked on a strategy
that connected the leaders of the community and the environment. We
worked on something in common, that was the awareness about the use
and the management of natural resources. We wanted to give better
conditions within our conception of life and we were criticized and
frowned upon for this, for defending a cause that was not only ours, but of
all humanity.

Isaac Piyako, Ashaninka representative: we defend a cause that was not only ours, but of all humanity
 “I was elected mayor with great difficulty because an indigenous person
was not going to allow deforestation of fishing. We want people to occupy
the territory in an orderly manner, so that we can survive. The world
population reaches 7 billion. In Acre, we reached 600 thousand people.
The population grows and so does concern with the natural resources.
Poverty is caused by political manipulation of a development model. We
are all capable of reaching equality.”

The Manager of the Innovative Solutions Program of the Amazonas

Sustainable Foundation (FAS), Victor Salviati, said the Bolsa Floresta
Program is a solid framework between the Secretary of Environment of
Amazonas and the community leaders who participate in the project,
evaluating the strategies of the program.

“The 65 leaderships represent almost 40,000 people from 16 state

conservation units and 10 million hectare. They are now at a meeting
discussing the program’s impacts.”

FAS also works on investment and income generation. In 2016, R$ 5 million

were invested in productive chains with resources from the Amazon Fund/
BNDES, benefiting 34 families, which increased their income by R$ 5
thousand. Salviati said productive or institutional arrangements have to be
easy to manage by beneficiaries.

The representative of the NGO Social and Environmental Institute

(ISA), Jeferson Straatmann, told his organization develops a project
in Xingu regiona about the chains for socio-biodiversity. They articulate
several people in these territories and thus overcome the logistical challenges,
including articulation with the market to build a new paradigm.

“Some of the challenges of structuring these networks is that costs are

higher than the cost that the middleman has, but the gains are also
greater. Indigenous people experience the dilemma of the economic
development system. On one hand an economic system with wood, ore etc.
On the other hand, a system based on traditional knowledge.”
When it comes to making an investment, you have to weigh the pros and
cons of these systems and see the ones that generate the greatest gains for the
world, Straatmann said.

Questions from the audience

Wouldn’t it be the moment to include degradation and associated
emissions in reports and calculations of the results we have in terms
of combating deforestation and degradation?
- Lars Løvold, from Rainforest Foundation, Norway

• Per Fredrik Ilsaas Pharo, Director of Norway’s International Climate

and Forest Initiative (NICFI):
All researchers should address this problem, but the monitoring of
degradation is still very complex.

How did APIYTI get access to the Amazon Fund/BNDES? The same
rule made for companies is the same for indigenous peoples, but
companies are very different from these people.
- Name not stated

• Isaac Piyako, Mayor of Marechal Taumatugo (Acre):

We institutionalized APIYTI. We realized that it was necessary.
EXHIBITION

O utside the room where the debate took place, the participants could
see posters with a collection of initiatives from the Brazil government,
states, NGOs and Brazilian and international agencies to curb deforestation
and to improve sustainable development at the same time. A marketplace
with forest products promoted the connection with the biodiversity
and with the sustainable use of its resources, which brought a sensorial
experience to the audience.

That promoted ideas exchange and network among the public in a more
informal space, in order to plant seeds that will grow as new efforts for the
Amazon forest and its population. Here are the posters.
ARPA: THE LARGEST
CONSERVATION AND
SUSTAINABLE USE OF The objective of the Amazon Region Protected Areas Program

TROPICAL FORESTS (ARPA) is to promote the permanent conservation and

protection of the biodiversity of 60 million hectares, an area

THE AMAZON
FUND: FOSTERING
SUSTAINABLE The Amazon Fund is a pioneering initiative for financing actions

DEVELOPMENT IN to Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and Forest

Degradation (REDD+), formally established on August, 2008.

TROPICAL FORESTS
The Amazon Fund became eligible to receive payments for
REDD+ results achieved by Brazil and recognized by the
UNFCCC, according to the National Strategy for REDD+
(ENREDD+) and the establishment of the National REDD+
Committee (CONAREDD+).
The governance of the Amazon Fund is participatory,
FUNDO AMAZÔNIA: PROMOVENDO O DESENVOLVIMENTO consisting of a Guidance Committee (COFA) that is responsible
SUSTENTÁVEL NAS FLORESTAS TROPICAIS for determining the guidelines and for monitoring results
obtained. Managed by the Brazilian Development Bank
(BNDES), the fund is an important instrument for the

SUBNATIONALE FÜHRUNG UND FELDERGEBNISSE
O GCF reúne Estados e províncias tropicais que estão liderando o caminho da
construção de programas jurisdicionais robustos para proteger as florestas e o
clima, enquanto melhoraram a vida no campo, incluindo todos os nove Estados da
Amazônia Legal brasileira. O GCF baseia-se na noção de que governos subnacionais
fornecem oportunidades únicas para a inovação e a liderança políticas, e que os
esforços bem sucedidos para proteger as florestas, reduzir as emissões e melhorar
a vida das pessoas devem ser baseados em programas jurisdicionais, em vez de
projetos e atividades individuais. A abordagem jurisdicional fornece uma plataforma
chave para o alinhamento entre políticas de diferentes setores e reúne múltiplas
atividades públicas e privadas, a fim de se obter um trabalho amplo para o
desenvolvimento rural com baixas emissões.

Die GCF bringt tropische Bundesstaaten und Provinzen zusammen, welche den Weg
für den Aufbau starker rechtlicher Programme zum Wald- und Klimaschutz ebnen und
gleichzeitig die ländliche Lebensgrundlage verbessern. Dazu gehören alle neun Bun-
desstaaten der brasilianischen Amazonasregion. Die GCF basiert auf dem Gedanken,
dass subnationale Regierungen besondere Möglichkeiten für politische Innovation und
Führung darstellen und erfolgreiche Bemühungen zum Waldschutz, zur Reduzierung
von Emissionen und zur Verbesserung der Lebensgrundlage auf breit angelegten
Programmen basieren müssen, anstatt auf individuellen Projekten und Maßnahmen.
Der rechtliche Ansatz bietet eine Schlüsselplattform für sektorübergreifende politische
Abstimmungen und ermöglicht das Zusammenbringen einer Vielzahl von öffentlichen
und privaten Maßnahmen zu einem verständlichen Ansatz geringer Emissionen und
ländlicher Entwicklung.

SUSTAINABLE USE OF THE Cooperation and Development (BMZ) supports Brazil in the combat of
deforestation as well as the demarcation and consolidation of indigenous
lands and conservation areas in the Amazon. The partnership began with the

TROPICAL FORESTS IN BRAZIL Pilot Program for Tropical Forest Protection in Brazil (PPG7, 1990), co-
financed by the BMZ. Recently this partnership has been strengthened by
signing the Brazilian – German Joint Statement on Climate Change (2015).
Nowadays, the German Federal Government supports around 20 projects of

área de cerca de 440.000 km² na Amazônia e a ampliação do Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Con-
servação em 60 milhões de hectares (2000-2013), especialmente na Amazônia e Mata Atlântica.

Seit mehr als 25 Jahren unterstützt das Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwick-
lung (BMZ) Brasilien im Kampf gegen Entwaldung, der Ausweisung und Konsolidierung indigener Gebiete und
Naturschutzgebiete in Amazonien. Die Partnerschaft begann mit dem Pilotprogramm zum Schutz der tropischen
Regenwälder Brasiliens (PPG7, 1990), welches durch das BMZ kofinanziert wurde. Erst kürzlich wurde diese
Partnerschaft durch die Unterzeichnung der gemeinsamen Brasilianisch-Deutschen Erklärung zum Klimawandel
(2015) verfestigt. Derzeit unterstützt die deutsche Bundesregierung etwa 20 Projekte der finanziellen und
technischen Zusammenarbeit im Umfang von mehr als 200 Millionen Euro. Unterstützung erhalten bezeich-
nende Initiativen, wie der Amazonienfonds/BNDES, das Schutzgebietsprogramm Amazoniens (ARPA), das
Umweltkataster (CAR) und regionale Unterstützung der Bundesstaaten Acre, Mato Grosso und Pará. Bisherige
Auswirkungen dieser Projekte sind unter anderem: die Registrierung von 131,5 Millionen Hektar im System des
nationalen Umweltkatasters (SiCAR), was zur Reduzierung der Entwaldung beigetragen hat, welche zwischen
2004 und 2015 in Amazonien um 71% gesunken ist, die Ausweisung von indigenen Gebieten mit einer Fläche von
circa 440.000 km² in Amazonien sowie die Ausweitung des nationalen Schutzgebietssystems (SNUC) um etwa
60 Millionen Hektar (2000-2013), vor allem in den Biomen Amazoniens und der Mata Atlântica, dem brasilianis-
chen Küstenregenwald.

Die Zusammenarbeit unterstützt unter anderem Projekte zur

Entwaldungskontrolle durch das Umweltkataster (CAR) (Foto: Elisa de Siqueira)
und indigene Völker (Foto: Juan Pratginestós).

There are also projects to stimulate the sustainable use of the forest, such
as cacao production (above; photo credit: Raquel Agra), deforestation
control (below, left, fire control) and projects to support people who live
along the rivers (below, right; photo credit: Juan Pratginestós)
Também há projetos voltados ao uso sustentável da floresta, como produção de cacau (foto acima; crédito: Raquel Agra), controle do desmata-
mento (foto abaixo, à esquerda, controle de incêndio florestal) e povos ribeirinhos (foto abaixo, à direita; crédito: Juan Pratginestós).

Einige der Projekte zielen auf die nachhaltige Nutzung des Waldes ab, zum Beispiel durch den Anbau von Kakao (Foto oben: Raquel Agra), Waldbrandbekämp-
fung (Foto unten links: Vanessa Oliveira) und die Unterstützung von Flussvölkern (Foto unten rechts: Juan Pratginestós).

O clima do planeta está mudando: a falta ou o excesso de chuva impactam a
agricultura e a saúde da população, e tornam a produção de alimentos com
conservação ambiental mais desafiadora. Ao lado disso, as florestas têm um
papel central na manutenção do clima no planeta. O IPAM (Instituto de Pesquisa
Ambiental da Amazônia) busca soluções para estimular o desenvolvimento sus-
tentável na Amazônia e no Cerrado, em conjunto com estratégias de adaptação
às mudanças climáticas. O IPAM é uma organização científica, não governamental,
independente e sem fins lucrativos que desde 1995 trabalha pelo desenvolvimento
sustentável da Amazônia. Recentemente começou a estudar e contribuir para com-
patibilizar, no Cerrado, a preservação dos recursos naturais com o desenvolvimento
da agropecuária. Paisagens preservadas equivalem a territórios produtivos.

Das Klima des Planeten verändert sich: Mangel an Regen oder dessen Überfluss wirken
sich auf die Landwirtschaft sowie die Gesundheit der Bevölkerung aus und stellen die
Produktion von Lebensmitteln mit gleichzeitigem Schutz der Umwelt vor eine große
Herausforderung. Im Gegenzug dazu nehmen Wälder eine zentrale Rolle für den Erhalt
des Klimas auf unserem Planeten ein. Unter Anbetracht dieser Tatsachen sucht IPAM
(Institut für Umweltforschung in Amazonien) nach Lösungen, um in Amazonien und im
Cerrado eine nachhaltige Entwicklung in Verbindung mit Anpassungsstrategien an die
Folgen des Klimawandels anzuregen. IPAM ist eine nichtstaatliche, unabhängige und
non-profit Wissenschaftsorganisation, welche seit 1995 für eine nachhaltige Entwick-
lung Amazoniens arbeitet. Seit Kurzem haben wir mit der Forschung begonnen, um
dazu beizutragen, den Schutz der Vegetation und natürlichen Ressourcen im Cerrado
mit der Entwicklung von Landwirtschaft und Viehzucht in Einklang zu bringen.

The Amazon must be preserved, through a zero

deforestation policy and the strategic and sustainable
use of already cleared areas. This is the main focus of
IPAM’s work.
A Amazônia precisa ser preservada, com uma política de desmatamento zero e
o uso estratégico e sustentável das áreas já abertas. Esse é o principal foco do
trabalho do IPAM.

Amazonien muss mit einer Null-Entwaldungspolitik und der strategischen und

nachhaltigen Nutzung bereits entwaldeter Gebiete geschützt werden. Das ist der
Hauptfokus der Arbeit von IPAM.

Between 2003 and 2013 almost 870 million tons of CO2 were emitted from
the Cerrado area where agricultural expansion is most intense.
Making agriculture and the preservation of the Cerrado compatible is a
challenge to which IPAM is disposed to contribute.
Cerca de 870 milhões de toneladas de CO2 foram emitidos entre 2003 e 2013 só na área do Cerrado onde a expansão agrícola
é mais intensa. Como compatibilizar agricultura com preservação do Cerrado é um desafio que o IPAM se dispõe a contribuir.

Nahezu 870 Millionen Tonnen CO2 wurden zwischen 2003 und 2013 allein im Gebiet des Cerrados ausgestoßen, wo die landwirtschaftliche Ausbreitung am
intensivsten ist. Landwirtschaft und den Schutz des Cerrados in Einklang zu bringen, ist eine Herausforderung, zu dessen Lösung IPAM bereit ist beizutragen.
