“…Approximately 1,657.5 km 2 of the Cerrado of Amapá is also already planted with plantations of eucalyptus (Table 1). Massive silvicultural plantations in the Cerrado of Amapá were planned in the 1990s as a contribution to migrating global carbon emissions (Ab'Sáber et al 1990;Fearnside 1998), but have not been planted as planned. However, such plans could be revived as Brazil's Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (iNDC), announced at the 2015 Paris Conference of the Parties under the climate convention, calls for "restoring and reforesting 12 million hectares of forests by 2030, for multiple purposes" (Brazil 2015).…”

An Amazonian savanna in northern Brazil known as the Cerrado of Amapá is under imminent threat from poor land-use planning, the expansion of large-scale agriculture and other anthropogenic pressures. These savannas house a rich and unique flora and fauna, including endemic plants and animals. However, the area remains under-sampled for most taxa, and better sampling may uncover new species. We estimate that only ~9.16% of these habitats have any kind of protection, and legislative changes threaten to further weaken or remove this protection. Here we present the status of knowledge concerning the biodiversity of the Cerrado of Amapá, its conservation status, and the main threats to the conservation of this Amazonian savanna. To secure the future of these unique and imperilled habitats, we suggest urgent expansion of protected areas, as well as measures that would promote less-damaging land uses to support the local population.

“…Proposals that combine forestry production with respect for local livelihoods and environmental conservation, generally emphasize small-scale plantations (e.g. AB'SÁBER et al, 1990;VIANA, 2004). The challenge, therefore, seems to be how to make small-scale activities viable for industries?…”

Transição florestal e modernização ecológica: a eucaliptocultura para além do bem e do mal

Neste artigo, o caso da eucaliptocultura é usado para explorar as possibilidades analíticas da modernização ecológica para as discussões sobre transição florestal. São abordadas as problemáticas da inclusão de monoculturas florestais no cômputo da transição e da influência indireta que essas monoculturas podem exercer na recuperação da cobertura florestal nativa. São analisados aspectos gerais sobre o tema, bem como um estudo de caso em São Luiz do Paraitinga, SP. Argumenta-se que as monoculturas florestais não deveriam ser incluídas no cômputo da transição, porém tampouco deveriam ser ignoradas nas discussões sobre conservação e recuperação florestal. O estudo de caso mostra o papel desempenhado pela pressão da sociedade, não apenas com suas decisões como consumidores, mas principalmente de uma articulação política para construir instrumentos jurídicos.

“…On the basis of technical f i w reported in the studies of Ab'Sak et al (1988( ), Brown et al (1986 and Sedjo (1989), the IDB forestry-related projects have a potential of sequestering 15.8 million tons of carbon from the atmosphere and eliminating the release of a total of 821 million tons of carbon of existing forest biomass by preventing deforestation through effective forest protection management and monitoring. The yearly sequestration would correspond to some 7.0% of the yearly C02 emissions from commercial energy production in the region and 2.7% of the emissions caused by deforestation in the five major contributing countries of Latin America (Goldenberg 1989).…”

Latin America and the Caribbean have more than half of the world's tropical forests. The rate of deforestation is high: some 7.5 million ha of forest disappear yearly. Central America and Mexico have the highest rates of deforestation; 1.6% of the remaining forests are being destroyed annually.The Inter-American Development Bank has analyzed the causes of deforestation and launched actions that contribute to curbing it both directly and indirectly. The actions include helping the countries to set appropriate sectoral and macroeconomic policies in order to remove factors that cause degradation of natural resources. The Bank has long been a financial resource deployer but it is gaining importance also as a resource mobilizer. The total IDB forestry-related loan funding amounts to some US$ 843 million for programs with a total cost of US$1980 million during the past 20 years.The Bank has been a strategic investor in highly visible projects such as the creation of parks and extractive reserves in the Amazon. It has provided financing to protect and manage some 4.7 million ha of existing forests sustainably. It is an important source of financing for recovering deforested areas through agroforestry investments and reforestation especially in degraded watersheds, but also in the context of coastal resources management and urban greening. The total reforestation goal for Bank financed projects is some 0.8 million ha.The Bank also finances other actions that are essential to proper protection and management of forest resources such as land use zoning studies, forest resource inventories, research, environmental education and institution building. Total Bank nonreimbursable technical cooperation financing was US$31 million for 72 projects during the last 15 years.There is a need to create an atmosphere of collaboration between the North and South in natural resource management and environmental matters. The IDB has been quite successful in this role through organizing new commissions for cooperation and a tradition of consultations in the region. It is maintaining transparency through its information disclosure policy that helps make information on the environmental aspects of bank programs available to interested parties. The Bank is promoting public participation in the design and execution of programs that it finances. Key words: International financing, deforestation, sustainability, Latin America, The Caribbean
