Abstract

This paper analyses environment subject present in public policies for Le-gal Amazonia, including the Public Forests Management Law (Law 11.284/06), approved with the purpose of regulating public forests management in Brazil and promoting sustainable development. The Kyoto Protocol Ì s Clean Devel-opment Mechanism (CDM) is suggested as a forest conservation mechanism. Through an hypothetical “zero†deforestation scenario and 100% of not emit-ted carbon linked to forest conservation projects, an economic revenue equiv-alent to the logging activities was estimated, and could be obtained in carbon market, contributing to maintenance of climatic equilibrium reducing Green-house Gases emissions, as well as keeping preserved biodiversity and environ-ment services values related to standing forest.
