Resumo

Protected areas in the Amazon have proven to aid curbing deforestation. However, some of these areas face institutional vulnerabilities and are located near deforestation hotspots, significantly impacting biodiversity protection and sustainable provision of forest resources. This scenario is particularly evident in the State Sustainable Yield Forests (FERS) in Rondonia, Brazil. FERS enables sustainable use of forest resources in the Amazon while providing resources for traditional communities and the state. This category of protected area was created primarily as a bargain product between the state and the federal governments for approving economic projects with the World Bank for the Rondonia Farming and Forestry Program (PLANAFLORO). However, the FERS have not been effectively implemented. None of the FERS currently have management tools, such as management plans, environmental zoning, or management councils. In this context, we analyzed the capacity of FERS in controlling deforestation. We used data from MapBiomas to assess the land use and cover transitions in FERS and deforestation data from Terrabrasilis to compare deforestation rates inside FERS with those within a 10-km nonprotected buffer zone. The results revealed a predominant land use and cover transition from forest to pasture, with varied regional factors, such as settlements and roads, influencing deforestation patterns among the FERS. Moreover, the lack of institutional capacity and the conservative agenda of Rondonia have prevented the effective consolidation of these state-protected areas. As a category of protected area that permits human uses, FERS needs better implementation of management tools to regulate land occupation and resource exploitation. (AU)
