Book Synopsis Cotas de reserva ambiental no novo código florestal Brasileiro: Uma avaliação ex-ante by : Peter H. May
Download or read book Cotas de reserva ambiental no novo código florestal Brasileiro: Uma avaliação ex-ante written by Peter H. May and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O Código Florestal do Brasil (FC) requer que todas as propriedades privadas rurais mantenham uma proporção fixa da sua área em vegetação natural como uma reserva legal cujas proporções são diferenciadas por bioma. Os proprietários de terra têm muitas vezes ignoradas a lei. Atingir seu pleno cumprimento exigiria uma restauração cara em áreas convertidas para outros usos. Mudanças recentes no FC preveem que os proprietários possam compensar a sua escassez de reserva legal através da compra de excedentes existentes ou restaurações obrigatórias em outras propriedades. Este artigo discute questões políticas críticas a respeito de Cotas de Reserva Ambiental (CRA). Examinamos a eficácia ambiental relativa da CRA, a sua eficiência na utilização dos recursos e a sua justiça social, bem como potenciais problemas de implementação. Permitindo a compensação com base na conservação fora do local pode permitir atividades agropecuárias mais eficientes e menos fragmentadas, bem como a conservação das florestas, em comparação com a proposição de conservaçãopadronizada proporcionalmente. A CRA, como uma opção para a compensação, possui grande apelo intuitivo, embora persistem controvérsias em relação a sua implementação. Neste artigo revisamos a experiência internacional com instrumentos econômicos semelhantes, bem como estudos brasileiros que simulam os potenciais resultados da CRA. Entrevistas com os principais atores a respeito do instrumento complementam a revisão da literatura. Terminamos com uma avaliação sintética das implicações dos nossos resultados para a implementação da política.

Book Synopsis Environmental reserve quotas in Brazil’s new forest legislation by : Peter H May
Download or read book Environmental reserve quotas in Brazil’s new forest legislation written by Peter H May and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Brazilian Forest Code (FC) requires all private rural properties to maintain a fixed proportion of their area in natural vegetation as a legal reserve whose proportions are differentiated by biome. Landowners have often ignored the law. Regaining full compliance would require costly restoration in areas converted. Recent changes to the FC provide that landowners may compensate their legal reserve shortages by purchasing surplus compliance obligations from other properties. This paper discusses critical policy issues regarding Environmental Reserve Quotas or Cotas de Reserva Ambiental (CRA). We examine the relative environmental effectiveness of the CRA, its efficiency in resource use and social justice, as well as potential implementation hurdles. Allowing for compensation with off-site conservation can enable both more efficient, and less fragmented agricultural production, as well as forest conservation, compared to the default on-farm conservation proposition. CRA as a means for compensation has great intuitive appeal, yet controversy exists regarding its implementation. We review international experience with similar economic instruments, as well as Brazilian studies simulating the potential results of the CRA. Interviews with leading actors regarding the instrument complement the literature review. We finish with a synthetic assessment of the implications of our results for policy implementation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a complex assemblage of largely intact ecosystems that support the earth's greatest diversity of life, the Amazon basin is a focal point of international scientific interest. And, as development and colonization schemes transform the landscape in increasing measure, scientists from around the world are directing attention to questions of regional and global significance. Some of these qustions are: What are the fluxes of greenhouse gases across the atmospheric interface of ecosystems? How mush carbon is stored in the biomass and soils of the basin? How are elements from the land transferred to the basin's surface waters? What is the sum of elements transferred from land to ocean, and what is its marine "fate"? This book of original chapters by experts in chemical and biological oceanography, tropical agronomy and biology, and the atmospheric sciences will address these and other important questions, with the aim of synthesizing the current knowledge of biochemical processes operating within and between the various ecosystems in the Amazon basin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the John H. Dunning Prize, American Historical Association Winner of the Stuart L. Bernath Book Prize, Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations Winner of the James H. Broussard Best First Book Prize, Society for Historians of the Early American Republic Winner of the North Jersey Civil War Round Table Book Award Finalist for the Harriet Tubman Prize, Lapidus Center for the Historical Analysis of Transatlantic Slavery When the United States emerged as a world power in the years before the Civil War, the men who presided over the nation’s triumphant territorial and economic expansion were largely southern slaveholders. As presidents, cabinet officers, and diplomats, slaveholding leaders controlled the main levers of foreign policy inside an increasingly powerful American state. This Vast Southern Empire explores the international vision and strategic operations of these southerners at the commanding heights of American politics. “At the close of the Civil War, more than Southern independence and the bones of the dead lay amid the smoking ruins of the Confederacy. Also lost was the memory of the prewar decades, when Southern politicians and pro-slavery ambitions shaped the foreign policy of the United States in order to protect slavery at home and advance its interests abroad. With This Vast Southern Empire, Matthew Karp recovers that forgotten history and presents it in fascinating and often surprising detail.” —Fergus Bordewich, Wall Street Journal “Matthew Karp’s illuminating book This Vast Southern Empire shows that the South was interested not only in gaining new slave territory but also in promoting slavery throughout the Western Hemisphere.” —David S. Reynolds, New York Review of Books
