Denis Benchimol Minev asked:


The rainforest is the Amazon? transformed into a major player in the discussions of climate change, given its importance not only as dispersore carbon, but also as a deposit Biodiversit? and a natural regulator of climate and water. The relative conservation? a need?, pi? conforms to the discussion. Were the days of cruel disagreement among ecologists and tree-abbraccianti choose a total of developmentalists. Both camps have been moved: the geralmente ecologists recognize and appreciate the imperative of improving the circumstances of life and governments / developers are beginning to understand the need for cooperation on environmental subjects that have both local and global implications. Fresh in the minds of everyone's? the dry? simultaneously in the Amazon in 2005 and Katrina-season major hurricane in unprecedented understanding of Caribbean.Amid of environmental damage, one might conclude that the conservation of the Amazon should be but one consequence. However, for the 25 million Brazilians who live in the forest, an equation is unchanged: the forest? still more worthy? gi lies? that levandosi standing. The breeding of cattle, logging and agriculture show pi? sustainable advantage, of nuts, oils and essences. Traditionally, recording legal? too bureaucratic for small landowners, the land? too cheap and plentiful so that? and whoever keeps control of lax enforcement and also to make the formalities? useful. However, the Brazilian institutions have improved in the areas of control and enforcement, cos? increasing the costs of familiarity?. Such a change in the equation had the desired effect of reducing deforestation. One unintended consequence, however,? been the reduction of performance of many of the areas most and traditionally the most difficult? informal. The Brazilian federal government is partially? occupied it with the program Bolsa Fam? lia that? a transfer payment to poor families. The state governments have found other solutions. In Amazonas, the pi? Brazilian great condition (2.3 times the size of Texas), located in the western Brazilian Amazon, the policies of the condition has focused on the reasons for increasing the activity? sustainable through the establishment of minimum prices for goods produced sustainable, such as oil, rubber and essences, and the creation of the Bolsa Floresta, a transfer payment to the families of the home of the forest in exchange for a commitment of no-logging, controlled via satellite, a fivefold increase in the & Science, Technology Investment, looking for development of technologies that will flip the balance towards the economic sustainability?; technical assistance to small landowners existing cos? courses such as distance learning through the condition on forestry, on the conduct of the forests and fish, concessions have to give land ownership? those occupying the land, attributing to them the rights and duties, and the grant of preferential financing for small-scale projects in the segments shown as sustainable, such as fish farming, the management of wildlife in the lake, the production of honey etc.. The Verification and Control and the application of? also were increased, but as a form of support for these initiatives. All these efforts aim to rebalance the equation of the forest which is already? against forest stands to those who live within it, are focused on including esteriorit? within the equation. ? important to remember where esteriorit? are: changes in climate across the globe, rain model change regionally and loss of Biodiversit? in the world. Most of these are the esteriorit? Brazil that will be felt outside and then come to the subject of the assessment of environmental services. Currently, the condition of Amazonas and the Government of Brazil incur these costs mainly outside their own estimates. The estimate of Amazonas' of U.S. $ 1,000 per citizen per year? just about enough to cover the healthcare? and universal education for our population of 3.5 million, and even less reason to reduce the deforestation that are not supported by any other source. A ticket for return journey to fly from Manaus, capital of the state, to Tabatinga, in the State's board,? often above the possibility of USD 1,000. The estimate of the environmental services, the pi? well what? carbon credits, providing for the Amazon, the most great opportunity in history. In an innovative structure, the condition partnered with the Marriott hotel in order to preserve a conservation area of 500 thousand hectares, providing improved conditions of life for the people living in there? In exchange for the provision of environmental services to reduce carbon probable future. This reserve, the Juma River,? over logging (what? probably deforested in a trade action plan as usual) and retrieves the social improvements, support for sustainable development, transfer payments and controlling the resistance to be rewarded with verses (voluntary reduction of emissions carbon) according to the BAC samples, mainly due to the reduction of deforestation expected. Pi? important in this project? the advent of a powerful economic reason for the forest stand. With strong partners such as Marriott International, the condition of Amazonas potr? implement an action plan in which logging, gi? to a low level (approximately 750 squares. kilometer or 0.05% of the condition deforested annually), sar? zero. However, these actions are still a drop in the result of political efforts and some corporate environmental initiatives. A global environmental regime of the structure of services? required. The new version of the Kyoto Protocol, currently being negotiated under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC), should include an evaluation of environmental services if we move forward, not only in the Amazon, but also through the earth of tropical forests. Because? while we are committed to this objective, financing the state government alone can not? support the variety? immense actions needed, but because? the benefits must be shared by us all, even not just rely only on our local budgets.
