Resumo

Determining the social cost of deforestation in each Brazilian biome is essential for supporting public policies and improving decision-making processes. This study conducts a systematic literature review of the economic valuation of native vegetation across Brazil's six biomes, grounded in the Total Economic Value (TEV) framework. In addition to compiling and harmonizing existing estimates, we produced new values for biomes with information gaps, following procedures widely adopted in the international literature. After methodological harmonization- including the exclusion of components that were not comparable across studies- we established conservative ranges for the social cost of deforestation, expressed in 2025 U.S. dollars per hectare: Amazon (USD 822.20-20,521.35/ha), Cerrado (USD 529.48-5,999.04/ha), Atlantic Forest (USD 4,380.51-8,206.54/ha), Caatinga (USD 4,049.76-4,382.46/ha), Pampa (USD 532.53-5,993.83/ha), and Pantanal (USD 1,906.50-12,745.21/ha). The consolidated results presented here constitute the most comprehensive and comparable reference available for Brazil, providing robust parameters for cost-benefit analyses and for the design of environmental policy instruments.
