Abstract

The readjustment of the New Brazilian Forest Code (Law nº 12.651/2012), seeks for environmental preservation, but considering rural productivity in a less bureaucratic way. This study aimed to study the limits and possibilities of implementing the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) in the municipality of Ferreiros, in Pernambuco, in order to understand the practical results of this public environmental policy. This is a qualitative, exploratory study, which involved bibliographic research, interviews and data analysis. To this end, all steps of the implementation and operation of the National Rural Environmental Registry System (SICAR) in the municipality were analyzed, based on a diagnosis of rural properties and the perception of four rural owners and two technicians. The difficulties found for the owners to complete the registration were: (1) limited access to the internet; (2) operational weakness of environmental agencies; (3) absence of responsible municipal technicians; (4) lack of information regarding the purpose of public policy It was observed that the CAR represents the opportunity for guidance on the rights and duties of rural landowners, so that they are adapted to the environment, however this is only feasible with the collaboration of technicians responsible for the promotion of means that allow the registration of these properties in the system. Thus, it was concluded that despite the efforts of public and private actors to adapt the rural properties of the municipality to the CAR, much still needs to be done, both to increase the property register and to improve the quality of information that reaches the municipalities. owners.
