“…However, others state that in a short space of time, there was a rapid evolution in the institutional and legal landmarks in Brazil, among which stand out: ( 1 These initiatives, with the mounting of the Brazilian legal and institutional framework in the environmental area, have generated positive results in the control of the forest degradation of the Amazon for a short period of time. However, the increase in deforestation soon returned to its peak and reached its historical record in 1995 (Capobianco, 2019), the year in which the National Council of the Legal Amazon (Decree 1541) was created by former President of the Republic Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Such a measure is considered as a symbolic act to calm international pressures (Barbosa, 2021).…”

Objetivo: identificar as ações desenvolvidas pelo Conselho Nacional da Amazônia Legal - CNAL que tiveram impactos no combate ao desmatamento e queimadas na Amazônia brasileira. Referencial teórico: se apoia na literatura por meio de políticas públicas voltadas para o combate ao desmatamento e queimadas na região amazônica. Método: realizou-se uma pesquisa documental por meio de atos normativos e de gestão, totalizando 90 documentos nas formas de atas de reuniões do conselho, decretos, resoluções, portarias, relatórios, planos e informes. Resultados e conclusão: os resultados obtidos identificaram as medidas protetivas e protelativa do CNAL, a evolução do desmatamento na região amazônica, as principais ações aplicadas pelo CNAL. No entanto, mesmo o conselho existindo mais de 27 anos, suas ações ganharam destaque após um ato de “reativação”. A pesquisa fornece, dessa forma, insumos para novos estudos acadêmicos que procurem analisar o papel do Conselho Nacional da Amazônia Legal, as políticas e ações implementadas pelo colegiado no bioma amazônico. Implicações da pesquisa: respalda em termos práticos, a efetividade e eficácia das políticas públicas, passando por duas vertentes, sendo uma delas a utilização de informações pelo público e imprensa, com críticas severas ao governo, e por outro lado, o governo podendo fazer uso de informações para ganho político através da legitimação das políticas públicas. Originalidade/valor: amplia a compreensão sobre políticas públicas, tendo em vista que o CNAL, juntamente com os demais órgãos ambientais propõe políticas e iniciativas relacionadas à preservação, à proteção e ao desenvolvimento sustentável da Amazônia Legal Palavras-chave: políticas públicas. combate ao desmatamento e queimadas. ações protetivas.

“…Brazil sought to integrate the Amazon within the rest of the country economically by establishing infrastructure such as roads and hydroelectric dams, and by promoting agribusiness production for export in international commodity markets. Satellite data in the late 1980s showing that annual forest losses exceeded 15,000 km 2 sparked concerns for loss of biodiversity and carbon stocks (Capobianco, 2019). It was predicted that, if those deforestation trends continued, the Amazon would lose about half of its forests by 2050 (Laurance et al, 2001; Soares‐Filho et al, 2006).…”

“…Protected areas can play a key role in avoiding deforestation and mitigating climate change, especially Indigenous lands and those with strict forms of protection (Nogueira, Yanai, Vasconcelos, Graça, & Fearnside, 2018; Nolte, Agrawal, Silvius, & Soares‐Filho, 2013). At about the same time, mobilization of ranchers, commodity producers and authorities led to mechanisms to curb illegal deforestation in Brazil through structural, fiscal, legal and executive actions, with various investments in environmental monitoring, enforcement and territorial zoning (Arima, Barreto, Araújo, & Soares‐Filho, 2014; Capobianco, 2019; Nepstad et al, 2014). Those mechanisms built on Brazil’s satellite‐based monitoring of deforestation (e.g.…”

“…The first battle began in the 1980s, when environmentalists, scientists and conservation organizations started to call global attention to the effects of escalating deforestation (Laurance et al, 2001). The struggle for conservation continued for decades and culminated in a series of policies, alliances and international and grass‐roots movements (Capobianco, 2019) that, in the 2010s, formed a framework for conservation of the Amazon that nearly curbed deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon (Nepstad et al, 2014).…”

The history of conservation of the Amazon can be viewed as a war involving many battles with interests in agribusiness on one side and in biodiversity conservation and sustainability on the other side. Trends in large‐scale deforestation in the 1970s spurred a series of policies, stakeholder alliances and international and grass‐roots movements, which decades later led to the establishment of protected areas and interventions in soy and beef supply chains of agribusiness. Together, these advances epitomized a conservation framework for the Amazon, which at one point nearly curbed deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, although it included very few protections for freshwater ecosystems. While those conservation advances were taking place, however, a series of policy changes started to undermine them through expansions in deforestation, river regulation and mining activities. The election of Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro in 2019 then hit the Amazon conservation framework much like a tsunami of policy setbacks and the re‐establishment of the economic policies that sparked the Amazon war in the past. The current trajectory is one of large‐scale degradation of Amazonian ecosystems and biodiversity with consequent impacts on local people. Because freshwater ecosystems are highly sensitive to human activities on water and on land, these growing impacts are particularly large. It is too early to know, but four decades of institutional and policy developments to conserve the Brazilian Amazon may soon be pushed past the point from which they will be able to recover. Four conditions will be pivotal to allowing the Amazon conservation framework to recoup: (a) the end of Bolsonaro’s mandate in 2022 or earlier; (b) remobilization of stakeholders; (c) investments in environmental research, policy and multiple collaborations; and (d) moving conservation beyond terrestrial landscapes to also encompass freshwater ecosystems and their people.
