A Lei 12.651/2012 avanços e retrocessos

Abstract

The objective of the present work is the analysis of 12.651/2012 law and the identification of the advances and setbacks in environmental regularization of rural properties.The implementation of this environmental Law in relation to the Forestry Legal Reserve Areas and Areas of Permanent Preservation is necessary to ensure quality of life to Brazilian society. We develop the analysis of the need for preservation and restoration of these areas and distortions brought by the New Forest Act that could bring trouble to the protection of these environmental assets, as a threat to the protection of ecological processes that ensure the sustainability of natural resources and biodiversity conservation. The work approach bases itself on the principle of the prohibition of environmental backsliding in order to verify the possible weakening of the regulation and its constitutionality towards the dictates of the Constitution of 1988. The study proposes alternatives to the effectiveness of the law based on the Payment for Environmental Services - PSA. The goal is to collaborate with the evolution of the effectiveness of law enforcement and the pursuit of sustainability in the use of our environmental assets for the promotion of social and environmental well-being
