Aspectos ambientais de imóveis rurais: um estudo do cadastro ambiental rural no Agreste Meridional de Pernambuco

Abstract

The Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) is a tool used since the enactment of Law No. 12,651, of May 25, 2012, to protect natural resources in rural lands. Given the need to combat illegal deforestation, carry out economic and environmental planning and monitor environmental protection areas – Permanent Protection Areas, Legal Reserves and Restricted Use Areas – it is essential to develop research that addresses this topic. Given this context, the general objective of this study was to analyze environmental aspects using the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) as a tool for environmental planning and control of deforestation. The object of study were rural properties located in the municipality of Garanhuns, in the Southern Agreste of Pernambuco, which carried out the CAR. A closed questionnaire was applied to 10 producers. After obtaining the research results, improvements were proposed for the use of CAR as a tool for monitoring and combating illegal deforestation, increasing analysis and inspection. It was concluded, after the study, that the CAR, although it is an instrument that contributes to environmental regularization, preservation of environmental protection areas, monitoring and environmental and economic planning, still has some flaws to be corrected by bodies and entities responsible. According to the results obtained by this study, it proved to be mostly beneficial for farmers and ranchers, which allows us to affirm its relevance for environmental preservation and conservation, ensuring a sustainable environment for future generations
