Resumo:
The conservation of forests provides a range of benefits to the environment through its ecological services. Environmental improvements include the maintenance of biodiversity, the conservation of water resources, and the reduction of carbon in the atmosphere. Despite the mentioned benefits, forest areas are subjected to wildfires, deforestation, and other degradations that disregard their importance for the geoecological and productive balance. With the aim of conserving the environment and promoting sustainable development, countries are implementing modern land administration systems, which aim to regularize the territory in its various aspects (tenure, environmental, fiscal, among others). As an example, the Rural Environmental Cadaster (CAR) program and the Environmental Regularization Program (PRA), a land administration system which aims to implement the restrictions on land use in Brazilian rural properties, are cited. Thus, the study seeks to analyze the extent to which the PRA, from the CAR, is contributing to the reduction of deforestation, fire outbreaks, alerts of degradation, and federal environmental embargoes on Brazilian rural properties. To develop the research, the state of Acre, in Brazil, was used as a case study. For this purpose, spatial and statistical analyses are carried out to evaluate the trend and future scenario of the aforementioned variables. The results obtained indicate that adherence to the PRA contributes to the reduction of deforestation, fire outbreaks, and alerts of environmental degradation. In environmental embargoes, a similar trend was observed in properties with and without adherence to the PRA, and a greater predictive analysis in properties that adhered to the PRA. Semi-structured interviews are also conducted to address the impacts of the PRA and CAR on the environmental and socioeconomic conditions of Brazilian rural properties and the challenges and opportunities for environmental regularization in Brazil. Lastly, the study proposes a monitoring system that analyzes the contributions of the PRA and CAR in reducing deforestation, fire outbreaks, environmental degradation alerts, and environmental embargoes on rural properties in Acre. The proposed system promotes the interoperability of the CAR s spatial data with the databases of the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) and the Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis (IBAMA).
