SUMMARY:

The Amazon forest serves as a shelter for a great biodiversity, in addition to helping to store carbon, regulate the climate and maintain ecosystem processes. However, these processes are being dismantled as forest deforestation increases. The Brazilian state has established several mechanisms to reduce forest destruction, including stricter environmental legislation and more effective environmental monitoring and inspection by government institutions. The following scientific question will be addressed in this research: Are embargoes effective mechanisms or not to promote the restoration of native vegetation that was illegally deforested in the Brazilian Amazon and why? The spatial scope of the research will be the municipality of Altamira, state of Pará, while the temporal space studied covers the period from 1998, when the Environmental Crimes Law was published, until the year 2021. The methodology consists of the following main steps: spatio-temporal analysis of georeferenced data from embargoed areas on indigenous lands, quilombola lands, conservation units, rural settlements, private properties and undesignated public land; temporal analysis of recovery or not of the original vegetation cover in embargoed areas, based on the temporal segmentation algorithm called LandTrendr; and interviews with Ibama inspectors to find out the reasons for the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of embargoes to allow the restoration of native vegetation. Furthermore, an analysis of national legislation and technical standards related to the environment and environmental inspection will be included, based on bibliographical research. More specifically, the historical evolution of Brazilian environmental legislation will be examined, including a comparison between the norms of the current Forest Code and the previous code in the part relating to combating deforestation in the Amazon forest. This work seeks to bring scientific contributions to the formulation of public policies and environmental management for the restoration of native vegetation in illegally deforested areas.
