“…Among the main factors for the reduction of forest loss were the Action Plan for Prevention and Control of Deforestation in the Legal Amazon (PPDCAm) and the Soy Moratorium. The first was a government measurement aiming land and territorial planning, environmental monitoring and control and promotion of sustainable production activities to tackle and reduce deforestation rates in the Amazon (Bidone & Kovacic, 2018). The second was a good example of an environmental pact between government, agribusiness entrepreneurs, and non-governmental environmental organizations to adopt measurements against Amazonia deforestation without harm the economy (Montibeller et al, 2020).…”

“…In Brazil, the Amazon Fund was created in 2008 as an RBF focused on achievements in deforestation reductions (Correa et al, 2019). In 2015, the government launched the National strategy for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (ENREDD+), aiming to eliminate illegal deforestation, conserving and restoring forest ecosystems, developing a low-carbon sustainable forest economy, and generating economic, social and environmental benefits (Bidone & Kovacic, 2018). Since then, to receive money from the Amazon Fund, projects must adhere to PPDCAm and ENREDD+ (Bidone & Kovacic, 2018).…”

The government's disengagement with the Amazonia conservation and consequent increase in deforestation rates since 2016 led Norway, one of the major donators to the Amazon Fund, to halve the stock financing in the region (Pereira et al, 2019).…”

The severity of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak demand from countries to adopt extreme measurements of social isolation to stop the spread and flatten the curve of contamination. Although social isolation measures may have negative impacts on economy, historically it has been showed to be more effective in saving lives and less damaging to economy than not adopting these measurements during a viral pandemic. In Brazil, despite the positioning of the president against social isolation due to the consequent economic recession, the rapid spread of the virus has worried the governors of the Brazilian states, which are thus managing stringent social isolation measurements to avoid the advance of the virus. Since one of the main strategies to guarantee progress and economic growth in Brazil has been the exploitation of natural resources from the Amazonia biome, here we discuss the importance of this biome to Brazilian economy during the post-pandemic recession and highlights potential strategies to burst the economy without promoting Amazonia destruction. We show that, together with the REDD+ and the Amazon Fund, the Forest bonds represents good strategies to burst Brazilian economy in a sustainable way, showing that it is possible to improve the commodities without increasing Amazonia deforestation or the greenhouse gases emissions. Amazonia is a biome of global importance for the avoidance of another global crisis, which will occur if we reach the climatic tipping point of 1.5°C. Thus, governmental actions should go towards its preservation, not exploitation and depletion. The commitment of the government with environmental conservation is paramount so that these economic strategies have positive results, especially in a post-pandemic scenario, where the economy will be extremely weakened. The COVID-19 brings us a lesson regarding how our attitudes can impact the world, and what we can expect from a global crisis. Perhaps we can apply these lessons and focus on change our economy towards a sustainable direction to avoid another global crisis in the years to come.

El objetivo del artículo es discutir la importancia del bioma amazónico para la economía brasileña durante la recesión pospandémica. También destacaremos posibles estrategias para hacer crecer la economía sin promover la destrucción del Amazonas. Mostramos que, junto con REDD + y el Fondo Amazonia, los bonos forestales representan buenas estrategias para explorar la economía brasileña de manera sostenible, demostrando que es posible mejorar la actividad económica sin aumentar la deforestación en la Amazonía o las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. La Amazonía es un bioma de importancia global para evitar otra crisis global, que se producirá si alcanzamos el punto de inflexión climático de 1,5 ° C. En consecuencia, el texto propone que las acciones gubernamentales deben ir hacia su preservación, no hacia la exploración y agotamiento como actualmente ocurre. La metodología utilizada es la hipotética deductiva.
