Neste boletim, o IPAM fornece novos números do passivo de reserva legal nos assentamentos da região e levanta pontos importantes que devem ser levados em consideração para que esta nova realidade pós-aprovação do Código Florestal não implique em aumento na taxa de desmatamento nos assentamentos da Amazônia.
The potential ecological costs and cobenefits of REDD: a critical review and case study from the Amazon region
The potential ecological costs and cobenefits of REDD: a critical review and case study from the Amazon region
Analysis of possible REDD program interventions in a large-scale Amazon landscape indicates that even modest flows of forest carbon funding can provide substantial cobenefits for aquatic ecosystems, but that the functional integrity of the landscape’s myriad small watersheds would be best protected under a more even spatial distribution of forests. Because of its focus on an ecosystem service with global benefits, REDD could access a large pool of global stakeholders willing to pay to maintain carbon in forests, thereby providing a potential cascade of ecosystem services to local stakeholders who would otherwise be unable to afford them.
