Abstract

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 Rondônia, 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 Rondônia 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 non-protected 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 Rondônia 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.
亚马逊可持续利用生物多样性保护区的森林砍伐:以Rondônia(巴西)国家可持续产生林为例
亚马逊的保护区已被证明有助于遏制森林砍伐。然而,其中一些地区面临制度脆弱性,并且位于毁林热点附近,严重影响了生物多样性保护和森林资源的可持续提供。这种情况在巴西Rondônia的国家可持续产量森林(FERS)中尤为明显。FERS使亚马逊地区的森林资源得以可持续利用,同时为传统社区和国家提供资源。这类保护区主要是州政府和联邦政府为批准世界银行Rondônia农林计划(PLANAFLORO)的经济项目而讨价还价的产物。然而,购债计划并没有得到有效执行。目前,所有区域都没有管理工具,如管理计划、环境分区或管理委员会。在此背景下,我们分析了FERS控制森林砍伐的能力。我们使用来自MapBiomas的数据来评估feres的土地利用和覆盖转变,并使用来自Terrabrasilis的森林砍伐数据来比较feres内部与10公里非保护缓冲区内的森林砍伐率。结果表明,森林利用和土地覆被以森林向牧场的过渡为主,住区和道路等不同区域因素对森林砍伐模式有影响。此外,机构能力的缺乏和Rondônia的保守议程阻碍了这些国家保护区的有效巩固。FERS作为一类允许人类使用的保护区,需要更好地实施管理工具来规范土地占用和资源开发。

期刊介绍: The Journal for Nature Conservation addresses concepts, methods and techniques for nature conservation. This international and interdisciplinary journal encourages collaboration between scientists and practitioners, including the integration of biodiversity issues with social and economic concepts. Therefore, conceptual, technical and methodological papers, as well as reviews, research papers, and short communications are welcomed from a wide range of disciplines, including theoretical ecology, landscape ecology, restoration ecology, ecological modelling, and others, provided that there is a clear connection and immediate relevance to nature conservation. Manuscripts without any immediate conservation context, such as inventories, distribution modelling, genetic studies, animal behaviour, plant physiology, will not be considered for this journal; though such data may be useful for conservationists and managers in the future, this is outside of the current scope of the journal.
