Certificação florestal: uma análise dos protocolos do FSC para emissão de selo verde e das normas estatais para licenciamento florestal no estado do Pará

Abstract

The research was made to verify if the state norms for forest environmental licensing in the state of Pará interfere in a positive or negative way in the adoption of forest management certification from the FSC system. The methodological approach was to qualitative, using the descriptive statistics to support interpretations and/or conclusions instituted on the examination from the data collected. The population sample was composed of forest management operations (FMO) from state of Pará, with FSC’s certificate. The data and information were collected in reports and documents from FSC, IBAMA, SEMA and IMAZON. The research’s result demonstrated the state norms for forest environmental licensing in the state of Pará interfere negatively in the forest certification, because the judgeships examination performed in the FMO, with forest certificate in Pará, demonstrated that despite the FMO that has the certification for more than five years, they still do not have any conformities to non-compliance with the environmental legislation and the statistics on timber production in the Amazon show that the state norms for environmental licensing are not effective in combating illegal timber production in Pará, causing unfair competition to the market forest-based products certified.
