Resumo
The model of concession forest in Brazil, established by Law n.11.284/06, was
adopted in order to contain the increase of deforestation, tax evasion and illegal
confiscation of land, mainly in the Amazon. This law definitely inserts Brazil in the
world market of wood, mainly dominated by Asian countries, particularly Thailand and
Indonesia. Furthermore, to the Environmental Law, this current law represents an
important point in the Brazilian legal system since it inserts in the management of forest
resources the private enterprise, which previously was not expressly provided for nor
was there regulation. The model in question has been used by several countries,
mostly Asians, however there is no news that has been successful as a sustainable
activity, which does not adversely affect the Brazilian government to adopt the same
system. The edition of the law was also strongly influenced by the international timber
market mainly by decreasing the supply of the product as a result of the reduction of the
production of Asian logging companies, from when the timber industry began to seek
for new markets in search of raw material located in a strategic point to reach the
markets U.S. and European regulatory and less rigorous oversight. However, for a
better understanding of the issue is not enough examination of the conjecture of the
world market, it is necessary also to have an understanding of the environmental
crisis that the world is going through, in order to outline the situation that originated the
concept of sustainable development and how it was appropriated by several
discourses to legitimize the expansion of the market. With these bases, it may be
possible to structure the context which created the concessions and how
countries have homogenized their legislation and discourses around the protection of
nature to better accommodate the financial enterprises.
