Os planos de manejo florestal sustentável (PMFS) na região norte do Estado de Mato Grosso

Abstract

The central aim of this work is to discuss the dynamic of forestal exploration in the north region of Mato Grosso state in its relation to the Plans of Reasonable Forestal Control (PMFS). This region has been chosen for it has great concentration of wood exploration activities, livestok besides the existance of gold digging, constituting, in this way, a region of great importance to the state. It has been described, in a historical perspective, the evolution of conventional forestal exploration activities until the activities of forestal exploration through reasonable control in the Brazilian Amazonian region; raised and analysed data related to dynamic of deforestation in the study area between the years of 2000 and 2005, such as the PMFS and the forestal certification of projects developed in this region. As a result it has been verified that historically in Brazil it has never existed effective control in reaction to the predatory use of natural resources from Amazon. As time has passed by the use of this richness has become reason of preocupation and control mechanisms have been established, like the institution of the First Forestal Code in 1934, The Law 4.771 in 1965 and other laws such as the Laws 6.938 in 1981, 9.605 in 1998 and the Law 9.985 in 2000. In relation to the PMFS aproved it has been verified that the activities of reasonable forestal control in the researched districts were insufficient to attend the demand of raw material in the wood market ahead the illegal wood exploration. It has also been verified that the quality of Plans of Reasonable Forestal Control in the state of Mato Grosso when compared to other states, that depend on forestal control to supply wood in the wood market, has showed the smaller general medium in the analysed testers in preexploratory, exploratory and post-exploratory stages. These results indicate that in spite of being a tool of great importance to the regular the forestal activity in the Amazonian region, its use is still little spreaded since good part of wood potential of districts is not being explored through PMFS.
