“…Currently, according to Schmitt and Scardua (2015), the main environmental inspection actions of IBAMA are aimed at combating illegal deforestation in the Amazon. Secondarily, other thematic areas are also the object of activities by the federal autarchy, such as the fight against illegal fishing, fauna protection, access to genetic heritage, transnational illicit activities, and activities related to environmental licensing.…”

Environmental regulation and the implementation of formal sanctions, including fines, are part of the environmental policy of almost all nations, including Brazil. The Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) is the main environmental body responsible for the supervision of fishing in Brazil. This study aimed to characterize environmental infringements and fines related to illegal fishing in the state of Pará between 2009 and 2016 by means of data interpretation, using the Corporate System of Registration, Collection, and Monitoring of IBAMA, which contains management information on environmental monitoring. A total of 886 notices of infringement against illegal fishing were recorded in Pará, with 2009 having the highest (198) and 2015 the lowest number of notices (42). The main infractions against fishing in the state were for fishing in an unauthorized season or zone and fishing without prior registration, inscription, authorization, license, permit or registration of the competent body, or contrary to obtained permit. According to the notices conducted by IBAMA, fisheries resources have been exploited illegally in estuarine and coastal environments in the state of Pará.

“…Whether it is for the PMAMs, their state environmental agencies or their PCs to investigate and crackdown on environmental crimes, although most of the Amazonian lands are under state enforcement powers (85.6%). With this, they promote an overload on federal inspection agencies (Schmitt and Scardua, 2015). However, this lack of resources may also be associated with the involvement of public and political actors, and those of high economic power, which are not interested in strong and effective environmental overview, with interagency integration and coordination, as they would be the most harmed due to their involvement in the commission of such offences.…”

Weak governance over the Brazilian Amazon is jeopardizing both social and environmental balance. Moreover, the loss of this balance can have severe social, economic, and political consequences at local, national, and global levels. Therefore, we plan to answer how the Brazilian forest is being protected based on the perspective of the environmental military police integrating all states of the so-called Legal Amazon. The study came from a field survey conducted through a questionnaire sent to those police agencies. The research is based on exploratory and descriptive methods of qualitative and quantitative approach with both field research and literature review on the subject. We sought to evaluate publications that satisfactorily described the “state of the art” of the main research on the topic, as we strove for the quality and comprehensiveness of the research, and a field survey through a questionnaire applied to law enforcement agencies. The responses were organized into four groups, allowing an overview of the environmental inspection in the region. Although the Amazon Rainforest is the largest tropical rainforest in the world, it has been found that states in the region devote little human and material resources to its protection. They are insufficient, tactically, and strategically under-employed, poorly distributed, and for the most part, far below the national average, which is already lower than recommended by international bodies which dedicate to the protection of nature.

“…Para a coleta de dados dos conflitos ambientais institucionalizados em um município, a experiência demonstra que primeiro é preciso identificar os órgãos públicos ambientais com competência para conduzir processos e procedimentos investigatórios, com o devido poder de polícia ambiental. Este poder é comumente exercido por meio das ações de fiscalização (SCHMITT; SCARDUA, 2015;MACHADO, 2017). Essa competência atualmente está principalmente disciplinada na Lei Complementar 140/2012, e na própria Constituição Federal.…”

This research aims to promote a discussion on how to characterize an ecologically dysfunctional municipality, in terms directly linked to environmental legal noncompliance, and how it can impact the axes of Environmental Democracy, based on the identification of institutionalized environmental conflicts by governmental agencies that have a duty to conduct investigations and punish its offenders. The methodology used was a documental analysis of works published on the subject in books, specialized magazines, scientific articles available in libraries or on the internet; and the analysis of a case study, which took place in a medium-sized municipality in the state of São Paulo. Using the methodology, we were able to characterize ecologically dysfunctional municipalities, and their impacts on the structural axes of Environmental Democracy, in order to provide access to information, increase citizen participation, and resolve environmental conflicts.
