“…As roads are progressively built throughout the landscape access costs are reduced, exposing Undesignated Lands to illegal logging, especially in the State of Amazonas due to the high density of commercial wood. Those forests not only represent timber resources but also areas that are rich in non-timber forest products [67], high biodiversity [68–72], large carbon stocks [50,58,73–74], and are strategically linked to regional precipitation patterns [75,76]. Protecting all these natural resources would require assigning those Undesignated Lands an adequate designation and taking additional actions to curb illegal logging [48].…”

Illegal logging as a disincentive to the establishment of a sustainable forest sector in the Amazon

Brazil recently began granting timber concessions in public forests to promote sustainable forest use. The effectiveness of this strategy hinges on the design and implementation of the concessions themselves as well as their competitive position within the logging sector as a whole. There is, however, a lack of information on the competitive interaction between legal and illegal logging and its effects on concessions profits. We address this knowledge gap by using a spatially explicit simulation model of the Amazon timber industry to examine the potential impact of illegal logging on timber concessions allocation and profits in a 30-year harvest cycle. In a scenario in which illegal logging takes place outside concessions, including private and public “undesignated” lands, concession harvested area would decrease by 59% due to competition with illegal logging. Moreover, 29 out of 39 National Forests (≈74%) would experience a decrease in harvested area. This “leakage” effect could reduce concession net rents by up to USD 1.3 Billion after 30 years. Federal and State “undesignated” lands, if not adequately protected, could have 40% of their total volume illegally harvested in 30 years. Our results reinforce the need to invest in tackling illegal logging, if the government wants the forest concessions program to be successful.

“…Although the literature on extractive economy and Non-Timber Forest Producds (NTFPs) is rich in arguments that seek to explain this transition (e.g., low supply, lack of relevant financial support in the forms of subsidies and development programs, weak regional markets), it does not guarantee subsistence family and competitiveness with income from the productive activities of traditional agriculture (Turini, 2014;Homma, 2012;Soares-Filho et al, 2013;Hall, 2004;Jaramilo-Giraldo et al, 2017;Lopes et al, 2018;Carvalho Ribeiro et al, 2018;Hecht, 2013;Humphries et al, 2012).…”

Brazilian public institutions have difficulties in building relationships of trust that truly promote sustainable development. This study proves that the Extractive Reserves (RESEX) socio-environmental crisis occurs due to the interdependent relationship that exists between environmental, economic, social groups and institutional organizations. The study concludes that the implementation of public policies regarding health, education, transportation, communication, technical assistance, energy, as well as the current revenues from the productive activities of extractivism, agriculture, and cattle ranching was ineffective, because the state did not cooperate with strategies to alleviate the conflict between conservation and development.

“…This paper explores possible multiscale governance strategies that may contribute to overcome the dilemmas of extractivist activities in Brazil. This work advances the state of the art by including non-material goods associated with these products, for example, landscape identity and traditional local knowledge (TEK Traditional Ecological Knowledge) through its association with cultural ecosystem (Carvalho Ribeiro, Soares Filho et al 2018).…”

Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFP), contribute to the livelihoods of over 6 million people in Amazon and over 4 million people in the Cerrado biomes. Here we explored data on the socio-ecology of extractivist landscapes at the biome scale in Amazonia and Cerrado in Brazil. We found that there are market chains for 45 and 58 NTFPs in Brazilian Amazon and Cerrado, respectively. Although there is a vast repertoire of empirical data for characterizing sociobiodiversity in Brazil this body of literature is mostly case-study driven, focusing on a very limited number of products and using different methodological approaches. Therefore, although there is a robust research legacy meaningful comparisons are very challenging. So far we have a fragmented view of vegetal extractivist dynamics at the biome scale. Our work contributes to upscale from the socioecology of individual NTFP to the biome scale encompassing a variety of products and its associated livelihoods.
