Conservation policy in the Amazon presents several dilemmas in the allocation of resources
in this region. Deforestation and other forms of destruction and degradation continue
rapidly, denying opportunities for conservation and sustainable development. Deforestation
in the economic frontier of the State of Pará is linked to the process of occupation and
expansion of agricultural, logging and mining activities, as well as the advance of
subsistence agriculture. Thus, the objective of this work was to identify and characterize
deforestation in the municipality of Novo Repartimento, state of Pará, from 2000 to 2020.
As a development stage, the data were obtained in two moments: analysis of data on the
evolution of deforestation in the study area through PRODES/INPE; a survey of theoretical
and conceptual aspects of the dynamics of deforestation, obtained through the analysis of
national and international scientific journals, legislation, reports and institutional
publications. From 2000 to 2020, 8.423,2 km2
of deforested areas were detected in Novo
Repartimento, representing 54.58% of its total area. Considerable evolution in the
deforested areas was detected in the municipality, reflecting the need for intense and
effective actions to prevent deforestation in this region.
