A central Vice Presidency for Environmentally (later Environmentally and Socially) Sustainable Development was created in 1992. That same year the Bank’s annual World Development Report (WDR) was devoted to the theme of development and the environment, and constituted the Bank’s principal contribution to the Rio Earth Summit.3 Ten years later the Bank published a new WDR, Sustainable Development in a Dynamic World: Transforming Institutions, Growth, and Quality of Life, which served as its flagship document for the Johannesburg Summit. In addition, the Bank recently published Making Sustainable Commitments, which represents its first explicit corporate environment strategy. The growing importance of sustainable development is reflected in the evolution of the Bank’s country policy dialogue, analytical work, and lending operations on poverty and the environment. This can be illustrated with reference to the vast and ecologically sensitive “Legal Amazon”4 region in Brazil, an area covering more than 5 million square kilometers and currently holding some 21 million inhabitants, more than two-thirds of whom live in urban areas.5 This paper will review a number of significant Bank-supported activities in (or, in the case of analytical work, on) the region, identifying the principal changes in focus and approaches to development over time and drawing some preliminary conclusions and lessons from this rich and diverse 6 7 experience. 1. I would like to thank Robert Goodland, Anthony Hall, Josef Leitmann, Dennis Mahar, Sergio Margulis, and Robert Schneider for their helpful comments on an earlier draft and Stael Baltar, Hans Binswanger, Kenneth Chomitz, Christoph Diewald, Philip Fearnside, Josef Leitmann, Judith Lisansky, Kenia Parsons, Robert Schneider, Claudia Sobrevila, Loretta Sprissler, and Nils Tcheyan for helping me to access some of the information cited in this paper, and Peter Brandriss for helping me to finalize it. The paper was initially presented in a workshop on environment and sustainable development at the Third European Congress of Latin American Scholars in Amsterdam in July 2002 and I am grateful to the participants for their helpful observations. 2. The Bank’s current mission statement reads, in part, “to fight poverty with passion and professionalism for lasting results; to help people help themselves and their environment by providing resources, sharing knowledge, building capacity, and forging partnerships in the public and private sectors.” 3. One key message of the 1992 WDR was that “…protection of the environment is an essential part of development. Without adequate environmental protection, development is undermined; without development, resources will be inadequate for needed investments, and environmental protection will fail.” 4. “Legal Amazonia” refers to the areas in the Amazon Basin formerly entitled to receive fiscal incentives under the 34/18-FINAM system (see footnote 15 below), including all of the present states of Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Mato Grosso, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima, and Tocantins (formerly the northern part of the state of Goiás), and most of Maranhão. 5. For non-Bank discussions of sustainable development issues in the Brazilian Amazon, see Bierregaard, et. al. (2001), Browder and Godfrey (1997), Bunker (1985), Cardoso and Muller (1977), Davies de Freitas (1998), Fearnside (1986), Goodman and Hall (1990), Goulding, Smith and Mahar (1966), Hall (2000), Hecht and Cockburn (1989), Nitsch (2000), Schmink and Wood (1984), Smith, et. al. (1995), Smith (1999) and UNAMAZ (1998). 6. While not specifically considered in this paper, many of the observations below may also be of direct relevance and applicability to the Amazon portions of the other countries – Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, and Suriname – in the broader Amazon River Basin.

  • BRAZILIAN Atlas
    BRAZILIAN / Summary Executive MANGROVES ATlaS BRAZILIANMANGROVES ATlaS BRAZILIANMANGROVES ATlaS Mangroves are one of the most important ecosystems on the planet. With their high productivity, they pro- vide numerous goods and services both to the marine environment and to people. They capture and store carbon in their biomass and soil, reduce the shorelines vulnerability to climate change by reducing the damage of the extreme events and of the rising sea levels, and also prevent erosion, by stabilizing sediments with their tangled root systems. Brazil presents remarkable mangrove conservation efforts, both through the sustainable use by local tradi- tional communities and the protected areas. Neverthe- less, this is not enough yet, particularly due to the high level importance of this ecosystem, which should not be put in danger. The irregular and illegal occupation, the lack of water and sewage treatment system, the changes on rivers and coastlines hydrodynamics, and, mainly, the loss and fragmentation of their vegetation cover are responsible for quality decrease and biodiversity erosion of these ecosys- tems, not to mention the climate changes increasing pres- sures and risks. Therefore, the traditional communities and some economic sectors that depend directly on the mangroves resources are having a hard time to keep their reproduction conditions. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the Brazilian mangroves loss is estimated in 25%. Considering the interest in their high level conservation, the situation is more serious in the Northeast and Southeast regions, where the ecosystem is more fragmented. According to a recent estimation, these regions have lost around 40% of what was once a mangrove continuous area.

  • Rethinking and Rebuilding Common Property Systems in Brazil
    WORKSHOP IN POLITICAL THEORY AND POLICY ANAUYSfS 513 NORTH PARK INDIANA UNIVERSITY BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA 47408-3186 RETHINKING AND REBUILDING COMMON PROPERTY SYSTEMS IN BRAZIL / ANTONIO CARLOS DIEGUES UNIVERSITY OF SAG PAULO Paper presented at the Fifth Annual Common Property Conference, Bodo, May 1995 I INTRODUCTION Common property regimes ( 'commons') in Brazil should not be considered as forms of social appropriation of territories and natural resources of the past by commoners, frozen in time.. Although some of these systems of communal appropriation are under tremendous threat by land speculation, urbanization and capitalist expansion, recent examples are showing that traditional population ( rubber-tappers, artisanal fishermen and forest harvesters ) are able to reaffirm and rebuild 'commons". Until recently, these I communal appropriation regimes were 'invisible'to the State bureaucracy mainly because 'fcommoners'were politically weak and lived isolated in marginal but usually biologically rich ecosystems, such as the Amazonian and Atlantic coast humid forest, mangroves, riverine areas, etc. These communal social systems existed for a long time in traditional rural and coastal communities and are characterized by a common utilization of land ( sea) areas, using renewable resources such as fish, forest and medicinal plants, cattle and products of shifting agriculture. Some of these appropriation regimes are mixed ones, as in addition to communal property there is also private/family appropriation of vegetable gardens,domesticated animals,etc.One main feature of these regimes are the intensive use and dependance of renewable resources and loose relationships with the market economy. These systems occur in communities where social organization is based on kinship relationships that are responsible for the exclusion/inclusion of people in the use of the resources.

It is an active area for family farmers and traditional forms of agriculture (including communal and extractive use of the land). It is also one of the poorest regions in the country. • The most representative groups in the Cerrado are: indigenous people, quilombolas (descendants of former African slaves), extractivists, geraizeiros (artisanal farmers in Minas Gerais and Bahia), and groups that subsist in riverine environments (ribeirinhos and vazanteiros). • In the Cerrado, traditional communities do not a strong political presence. Interviewees noted that this lack of capacity is a result of the lack of public and international attention historically given to the biome. • The initiatives aimed at protecting these communities are dispersed across the biome and there is a lack of coordination among them. • The most vocal groups tend to be completely opposed to the current agribusiness model, which is seen by many as a threat to the communities.
