  • Pay for Performance and Deforestation: Evidence from Brazil ∗
    Pay For Performance and Deforestation: Evidence from Brazil ∗ Liana O. Andersony Torfinn Hardingz Karlygash Kuralbayeva§ Ana M. Pessoa{ Po Yin Wongk May 2021 Abstract We study Brazil’s Bolsa Verde program, which pays extremely poor households for forest conservation. Using a triple difference approach, we find that the program keeps deforestation low in treated areas. In terms of reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, the program benefits are valued at approximately USD 335 million between 2011 and 2015, about 3 times the program costs. The treatment effects increase in the number of beneficiaries and are driven by action on non-private prop- erties. We show suggestive evidence that the BV program provides poor households with incentives to monitor and report on deforesta- tion.

  • Brazilian Amazon)
    BRAZILIAN FORESTRY LEGISLATION AND TO COMBAT DEFORESTATION GOVERNMENT POLICIES IN THE AMAZON (BRAZILIAN AMAZON) THIAGO BANDEIRA CASTELO1 1 Introduction The forest legislation can be understood as a set of laws governing the relations of exploitation and use of forest resources. In Brazil, the first devices aimed at protected areas or resources have his record even in the colonial period, where the main objective was to guarantee control over the management of certain features such as vegetation, water and soil. Since then, the forest legislation has been undergoing constant changes (Medeiros, 2005) that directly affect the actors linked to the management, as the te- chnical institutions that monitor and control the exploitation of environmental areas, as well as researchers working in the area. In this scenario, the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) (Law 7,735/1989) has been active in protecting the environment, ensuring the sustainable use of natural resources and promoting environmental quality nationwide. However, the need for decentralization of administrative actions of IBAMA, due to the large size of Brazil that overloads the supervisory actions of the body, led to publication of the Law 11,284/2006 of public forest management, which regulates the management decentralization process Union forest to the states and municipalities. Subsequent to this, the rural actors such as farmers and entrepreneurs with political support from government wards opened the discussions on the reform of the main legal instrument of legislation - The Forest Code. New forms that aim to address the growing need of the country in parallel with the environmental protection have been placed under discussion.

    Environmental Regulation in Law and Economics Urban Growth, Tourism and Deforestation in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest Danilo Igliori Lent Term 2006 UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE Department of Land Economy Growth and Deforestation in Brazil • Like in most countries, deforestation in Brazil has occurred as an outcome of occupation, population growth, and economic development. • The deforestation rate increased considerably in the 20th Century due to urbanisation, agriculture expansion, and development programmes. • Conservation becomes part of the development agenda in the 1980s, partially due to international pressure. History • 1500 – 1800: Sugar plantations, mainly in the Northeast. • 1800 – 1930: Sugar plantations and coffee plantations, mainly in the Southeast. • 1930 – 1960: Urbanisation and industrialisation in the Southeast and larger occupation of the South. • 1960 onwards: Further urbanisation and industrialisation. Occupation of the Centre West and the North. The Atlantic Rainforest • The Atlantic rainforest in Brazil originally covered around 1 million km2 along the ‘entire’ coast side of the country • The Atlantic forest is formed by a set of complex ecosystems with high biodiversity, combining a large network of rivers, wetlands and forests. • Most of the Brazilian population lives within 500 kms from the coast and therefore within the Atlantic forest domain • Until 1960 most of the agricultural development took place within the Atlantic forest domain The Atlantic Rainforest • From South to North, most of the main Brazilian cities are located close to the Atlantic coast (Porto Alegre, Curitiba, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Salvador, Recife) • The Atlantic forest has been pressured by urban growth over the last century. • There is currently only around 6% of the original cover of the Atlantic forest left.

Methods: We conducted an ecological study of the monthly new case detection rate of leprosy in spatial aggregation of Brazilian geographical regions, climates and biomes, applying a linear regression models with Poisson function to estimate seasonal rates using January as the reference month. Results: Monthly seasonal patterns of leprosy detection rates were recorded between different geographic regions, biomes and climates, with a predominance of increases in the autumn, in the months of March and May, and in winter in the month of August. Conclusions: The detection rate of leprosy in Brazil has a seasonal pattern with specific variations between geographical regions, climates, and biomes. The highest peaks in the detection rates were observed in May (autumn) and in August (winter). In addition to the supply and accessibility of healthcare
