This research deals with the role of the Federal Public Ministry of Pará in combating
irregular deforestation in the Amazon from 2016 to 2022 within the scope of the Amazônia
Protege Project. Launched by the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) in 2017, with the objective of
combating the illegal deforestation that occurred from 2016 and curbing other illegal activities
in the Brazilian Amazon, the Amazônia Protege Project (PAP) involves a series of actions,
including investigations, operations inspection and cooperation with other government
agencies. Therefore, it is a case study, focusing on examining the Project, the proposed actions,
the procedures used, verifying whether there is legal effectiveness in the results achieved by
December 2022 and its relationship with climate litigation. From this study, a consistent and
systematic Diagnostic Report was presented at the end with a proposal for improvements
regarding the PAP of the Federal Public Ministry. The fight against irregular deforestation in
the Amazon by the Amazônia Protege Project brings with it the ideas of sustainable exploration,
more effective environmental inspection, and changes in paradigms in the legal field. The aim
is to assess whether the Project contributes to reducing deforestation and whether it can be seen
as strategic environmental litigation. A descriptive case study is adopted as a methodology,
defining the sampling used, that is, the MPF database of processes related to Amazônia Protege,
from 2016 to 2022 in the state of Pará, with preparation and collection of primary data,
compilation bibliographical information, analysis of the result of the actions until December
2022 with presentation of the intervention report, relating cause and effect between the
propositions discovered, issuing suggestions or recommendations that may contribute to greater
legal effectiveness and emphasizing practices that deal with the promotion of initiatives aimed
at the sustainable balance of the environment, thus guaranteeing the observance of an
exploration model whose thesis is to prove that the best solution for everyone is still to maintain
the preservation of the Amazon forest.
