6 SUMMARY Conservation Units (UCs) have generally been one of the most effective measures against deforestation in the Amazon, and thus for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, some of them are in critical situation of deforestation. Generally, those areas present irregular occupations and are in the regions of influence of major infrastructure projects, such as highways and hydroelectric dams, and are vulnerable because of inefficient enforcement. Aware of these problems, enforcement agencies such as the Federal Audit Court (TCU) and the Federal Public Prosecution Service (MPF) have demanded that UCs be implemented throughout Brazil, especially in the Amazon. In order to contribute to such initiative, we present the 50 UCs which are critical areas of deforestation that need to be priorities for implementation actions, especially, of land regularization in other words, the removal of irregular occupants and the compensation and resettlement of those that have the right to it. Those critical areas concentrate 96% of the deforestation that occurred in Amazon UCs during the period of August 2012 to July
7 2014. Seven of the top ten most deforested areas and which account for 81% of the deforestation in the critical areas are suffering from a low level of implementation according to data from the TCU (in other words, they lack management plans, management council, and sufficient human and financial resources). The success of UCs against deforestation and as a basis for local development (tourism, sustainable timber harvesting) depends upon investments. The government needs to prepare a long-term plan that takes into account the necessary resources and priority actions. The initial focus of those actions should be the critical areas of deforestation that are under the most pressure (near projects that attract migrants such as hydroelectric dams and paving roads) and are vulnerable because of irregular occupations. To guarantee the integrity of those areas, we recommend: punishment for all crimes associated with illegal deforestation, which will lead to confiscation of assets and stiffer penalties; removal of non-traditional occupants from UCs where their presence is not allowed; and taking back public lands outside UCs for the necessary resettlements.

10 Critical Protected Areas in the Amazon in the period of 2012 to 2014 Introduction Conservation Units (UCs) have been one of the most effective measures against deforestation in the Amazon, and, consequently, for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The creation of 485 thousand square kilometers of Protected Areas (Conservation Units and Indigenous Lands) in the region from 2003 to 2006 helped to reduce the deforestation rate by 37% during that period (Soares-Filho et al, 2010); and Brazil reduced its GHG emissions by 38% from 2005 to 2012 (SEEG/OC, 2014). Despite the benefits those areas provide, some are at a critical situation of deforestation (Martins et al, 2012). Generally, the critical UCs are in the area of influence of major infrastructure projects such as highways and hydroelectric dams (Araújo et al, 2013). Both the projects already underway and those in the planning stage entail a large migratory influx to the region, improvements or the expectation of improvements for the distribution of local production and an increase of land value in the surrounding area. In that context, facilitated access to UCs and inefficient enforcement allow people to exploit their resources illegally and even to appropriate their lands. The existence of occupants with or without title inside UCs that do not allow private properties inside their areas causes conflict over resource use, which can lead to environmental degradation and to the loss of their purpose. And delay in removing those occupants generates an expectation that the government will revoke or reduce UCs to allow people to remain in the area, or at least compensate or include them in land reform settlements (Araújo & Barreto, 2015). That situation encourages new occupations. Research indicates that UCs with land conflicts are less effective against deforestation (Nolte et al, 2013). Aware of these problems, enforcement agencies such as the Federal Audit Court (TCU) and the Federal Public Prosecution Service (MPF) have demanded that UCs be implemented throughout Brazil, especially in the Amazon. In late 2013, the TCU carried out an environmental audit on UC management and governance in the Amazon biome and found that only 4% of the UCs presented a high level of implementation (TCU, 2013). That is because few UCs presented management plans, management council and sufficient human and financial resources; and had the uses laid down by law implemented, such as forest concessions and tourism. Among the factors that keep UCs from achieving their objectives is the lack of land regularization. The Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio) informed the TCU that there were 5.4 million hectares of private lands inside the federal UCs in Brazil needing expropriation at a cost of R$7.1 8
11 billion (TCU, 2013). In the Amazon, that would mean 3 million hectares and an expropriation cost of R$2.3 billion. Based on those numbers, the TCU estimated that the federal government would take 102 years to conclude land regularization of the federal UCs if it kept up the insufficient rate of investment presented from 2009 to To guarantee conservation of the UCs in the Amazon biome, the TCU and the State Audit Courts (TCEs) have demanded that the governments present action plans for their implementation. Those audit courts will follow up UC implementation using 14 indicators (Appendix). In 2014, the MPF launched a national campaign for UC land regularization and an instruction manual for guiding federal prosecutors in following up UC implementation and pushing forward their land regularization process (PGR, 2014). To contribute towards those initiatives, we present below the UCs that are critical areas of deforestation and that need to be priorities for implementation actions, especially land regularization. 9
12 The Critical Areas From August 2012 to July 2014, 1,531,000 hectares were deforested in the Amazon, from which 158,400 hectares or 10% occurred in 160 UCs [1]. Of those, 50 UCs in eight states concentrated 96% of the deforestation (Figures 1 and 2), of which 87% occurred in only two states: Pará (48%) and Rondônia (39%). According to TCU, implementation was low (46%) or average (46%) in most of the critical UCs. The low level of implementation predominates among the top ten most deforested UCs (7/10) that account for 81% of the deforestation in the critical areas (Figure 2). Only 8% of the 50 critical UCs presented a high level of implementation. Among the 50 critical UCs, those under state management were the most deforested, with 101,611 hectares or 67%. However, in Pará, the federal UCs were more deforested than the state ones, while in Rondônia we observed the opposite (Figure 3). The State of Rondônia is notable for reducing and revoking UCs in order to legalize and promote occupations and allow construction of hydroelectric dams (Araújo & Barreto, 2010). These data indicate that both state and federal agencies need to improve management of UCs, and prioritize those with deforestation.

The Environmental Protection Area (APA) was the most deforested category, with 43% of the total (Figure 4). That UC category allows the presence of private properties, but this does not mean that the deforestation that occurred in those areas had been authorized. After APAs, National Forests (Flonas) and Extractive Reserves (Resexs) had the highest rates of deforestation, with 19% and 15%, respectively. Flonas and State Forests (Flota) allow sustainable use of native forests. However, according to TCU, most Flonas and Flotas in the Amazon are not yet being used for such purposes through concessions. As for the Resexs, their basic objectives are to protect the livelihoods and culture of traditional extractive populations and assure the sustainable use of natural resources in such UCs. However, the TCU has found that Resexs in the Amazon have low implementation of Management Agreements, the ins- 14

Although this UC category allow occupation only by traditional populations [2], such as riverbank and beach dwelling people (ribeirinhos and caiçaras), it suffers from illegal logging and illegal occupation.

18 Critical Protected Areas in the Amazon in the period of 2012 to 2014 Recommendations The success of UCs against deforestation and as the basis for local development (tourism, sustainable timber harvesting) depends upon investments. The government needs to prepare a long-term plan that takes into account the necessary resources and priority actions. Although the federal government has reduced spending on the Plan for Prevention and Control of Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon (PPCDAM) by 72% (Infoamazonia, 2015), there are several sources of funding for investment in UCs, such as environmental compensation, effective levying of fines and the Rural Property Tax (ITR) and the sale of public lands, as noted by Araújo and Barreto (2015). The government should focus its actions in the critical areas of deforestation that are under the most pressure (near projects that attract migrants such as hydroelectric dams and paving roads) and are vulnerable because of irregular occupations. To guarantee the integrity of those areas we recommend: Punishing all crimes associated with illegal deforestation. Besides improving environmental enforcement (fines, embargoes, confiscation of assets), it is necessary to prosecute illegal deforesters for associated crimes such as occupation of public lands, conspiracy, tax evasion and money laundering. That is exactly what recently happened in Western Pará during the Castanheira Operation (MPF, 2014). The accumulated penalties from those crimes resulted in significant financial loss and prison terms of several years that have a greater potential for dissuasion than the penalties for environmental crimes, which are milder. However, the investigation of crimes associated with deforestation will require that Ibama, the Federal Police, Federal Revenue Service, and MPF work together cooperatively. Remove non-traditional occupants from the UCs in which their presence is not allowed, such as Flona, Resex and Rebio. According to the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) [3], those who occupy public lands, even in good faith, do not have the right to compensation for the investments they have made in such areas. Adoption of this interpretation by UC managers would save money spent on undue compensations. In the case of occupants who have a legitimate right to compensation for improvements, it is important to deduct from such payment the environmental fines for deforestation and illegal logging, as well as the costs for the recovery of degraded areas. Taking back public lands outside Conservation Units. The retaking of illegally appropriated lands (with false titles) outside UCs, especially those already deforested, would increase the availability of lands for resettlement of non-traditional occupants of UCs who fit the profile for land reform program. In order to expedite things, land title agencies need to cancel false titles through administrative procedure, which is more rapid than using the courts (Araújo & Barreto, 2015).
