Dificuldades na implantação dos planos de manejo florestal sustentável no estado do Amazonas

Abstract

The Amazon region is known for its high forest richness and diversity but faces significant challenges in developing sustainable management models, such as the Sustainable Forest Management Plan (SFMP). This study aimed to identify the main difficulties in implementing SFMPs in the state of Amazonas. The methodology employed was qualitative, combining bibliographic research and documentary analysis. The data collected were sourced from the Amazon Protection Institute (IPAAM) website, covering the years 2017 to 2022. Results indicated that excessive bureaucracy, lack of standardization in regulations, and inadequate oversight were the primary obstacles to effective sustainable forest management. Additionally, the prevalence of high-impact management plans and the intensive exploitation of potentially over-exploited species hinder the natural regeneration of forests. The study proposes a qualitative analysis and discussion based on technical documents and IPAAM's database. It concludes that harmonizing public policies, strengthening enforcement, and engaging local communities are essential for the conservation of the Amazon forest and the economic viability of forest-based activities.
