As recentes mudanças no Código Florestal, a partir da aprovação da Lei nº 12.651, de 25 de maio de 2012, levantaram o debate sobre as bases científicas de seus dispositivos, principalmente em relação à extensão de áreas a serem mantidas ou recuperadas com cobertura vegetal natural.

Amazonian deforestation rates are used to determine human effects on the global carbon cycle and to measure Brazil's progress in curbing forest impoverishment. But this widely used measure of tropical land use tells only part of the story. Here we present field surveys of wood mills and forest burning across Brazilian Amazonia which show that logging crews severely damage 10,000 to 15,000 km2 yr−1 of forest that are not included in deforestation mapping programmes.
