Maranhão, Brazil
Brazil
Description
The State of Maranhão has surface areas of the order of 331 thousand km², being the eighth largest state in Brazil and the second in the Northeast in territorial extension. The State has 217 municipalities and two Metropolitan Regions: Greater São Luis and Southwest Maranhense. The Maranhão portion of Amazonia Legal covers an area equivalent to 80% of the territorial area of the State, about 264,000 km². In this area are located 188 municipalities of Maranhão.
The State has five geographical meso-regions, subdivided into 21 geographic microregions, where 217 municipalities are located. The municipal boundaries were established based on IBGE Resolution No. 05 of October 10, 2002.
Deforestation is concentrated in an area called the ‘Deforestation Arc’ , passing through Tocantins, part of Pará and Mato Grosso, the entire state of Rondônia, the south of the Amazonas arriving at Acre. According to the Forest Code, the region delimited by the Legal Amazon rules on the use of rural property, as properties within the Legal Amazon are obliged to maintain 80% of the area as legal reserve in the Amazon Biome and 35% in the Cerrado biome. Those located properties outside the limits of the Legal Amazon need to conserve 20% of the property as reservation. The territory of Maranhão consists of the biomes Amazônia, Cerrado and Caatinga bomes, which gives it great biological and environmental diversity.

Overview of Forest Monitoring and Measurement Systems
Forest monitoring systems are a fundamental component of Brazil’s REDD + efforts, since they provide key information for the planning of public policies. Maranhao uses systems based on remote sensing, using information collected by satellites. Brazil has systems that allows monitoring of forest cover over time, identifying where deforestation is occurring, analyzing the dynamics of land use, and others.
In addition, monitoring systems allow for the elaboration of historical series for REDD + activities and periodically generate data for results to be measured from the reference levels of forest emissions based on the historical series.
The main developer of monitoring systems in the country is the National Institute of Space Research (INPE), linked to the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communications. INPE has the PRODES project, which carries out satellite monitoring of shallow-deforestation in the Legal Amazon and has been producing annual deforestation rates in the region since 1988, which are used by the Brazilian government to establish public policies. The annual rates are estimated from the deforestation increments identified in each satellite image that covers the Legal Amazon.
In this way, the state of Maranhão uses this system to monitor deforestation in the state’s forests and then make emission reduction estimates for deforestation.

Laws, Policies & Strategies
Policies and Strategies
Plan for Prevention and Control of Deforestation (PPCD) – Maranhao’s PPCD was formalized in 2011 through Decree 27.317. For each planning and execution period, the Plan indicate areas of intervention priorities, centered on four thematic areas: Regularization and Land Planning, Monitoring and Control, Promoting Sustainable Activities, and Governance, Information Management and Transparency.
Laws and Regulations
Law 10.595, 24/5/2017 – Creates the “Maranhão Verde” Programme, aimed at promoting and developing projects to support conservation and environmental recovery.
Law 10.444, 05/05/2016 – Establishes the State Policy for Technical Assistance and Rural Extension for Agriculture Family and Agrarian Reform – PEATER / MA and the State Assistance Technical Program and Rural Extension for Family Agriculture and Agrarian Reform – PROATER / MA in the State of Maranhão
Law 10316, 17/09/2015 – Establishes the Ecological-Economic Macrozoneamento of the State of Maranhão and makes other provisions.
Law 10276, 07/07/2015– Institutes the Program for Environmental Adequacy of Property and Rural Activity and adopts other measures.

Law 9,413, 13/07/2011 – establishes the System State of Nature Conservation Units of Maranhão and makes other provisions
Law 5.405, 1992 – establishes the Code of Protection of the Environment and State System of Environment and the appropriate use of resources in the State of Maranhão.
Institutional Framework
Secretary of Environment (SEMA) – Plans and coordinated the implementation of policies related to the promotion, organization, regulation, control and control of actions related to the exploration and preservation of the environment and natural resources.
SEMA has three Secretariats (Sustainable Development, Licensing, Environmental Resources) and nine Superintendents (Water Resources, Environmental Licenses, Biodiversity and Protected Areas, Forest Resources, Waste Management, Green Economy, Environmental Education, Surveillance, Planning and Monitoring)
Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries- SAGRIMA – promotes the sustainable development of agribusiness productive chains, through programmed actions aimed at increasing the production and productivity of grains, vegetable and animal protein and fiber, productive infrastructure, agricultural protection and defense, fishing and aquaculture, and establishing mechanisms to guide the decisions of economic agents, producers, traders, importers and others, in the alternative allocation of resources, and to develop and correct market failures.
Secretary of State for Family Agriculture (SAF) – SAF aims to promote the development of family agriculture, combat rural poverty, facilitate access to credit and technical assistance instruments, promote social inclusion in land management and reorganization processes, promote land regularization, provide technical assistance and rural extension, expand opportunities for professional training and generation of work and income, and improve the quality of life of farmers and their families and to stimulate sustainable rural development in the State of Maranhão.
Zoning & Spatial Planning
The Brazilian Federal Government, through the Ecological-Economic Zoning (ZEE), requires states to regulate areas for economic and conservation activities within their territory. In Maranhao, the ZEE is coordinated by the State Secretariat for Planning and Budget(Seplan) and is used as a planning tool to be institutionalized to guide the State’s Sustainable Strategic Planning. SEPLAN and Emprapa have coordinated to develop a ZEE Macro in 2014 on a 1: 1,000,000 scale. After the public consultation, the plan was approved by the state assembly state through Law No. 10,316 of September 17, 2015. The plan was validated by the federal government.
Maranhão completed the 1:1,000,000 (MACROZEE / MA) ZEEin 2014, a process that represents only one step to achieve the ZEE on a scale compatible with the desired 1: 250,000 scale. This instrument, submitted at the beginning of 2015 to the State Legislative Assembly, was institutionalized through Law 10,316 of September 17, 2015.
Subsequently, the MacroZEE was submitted to the Coordinating Committee of the EEZ – CCZEE – of the Ministry of Environment for recognition by the Federal Government on November 25, 2015, thus complying with the provisions of Forestry Code Law 12.651, dated May 25, 2012.
Looking ahead, the Government of Maranhão intends to elaborate the more detailed ZEE as an instrument to guide in the formulation of public policies related to socioeconomic and environmental development in order to guide efficient territorial planning. The refined ZEE will also serve as a tool to guide investment decisions by the private sector. For this purpose, the elaboration of the State’s Ecological-Economic Zoning (ZEE / MA) in the 1: 250,000 scale was included in the 2016-2019 Pluriannual Plan, with budgetary resources secured in 2016. By governmental decision, the elaboration of the Ecological-Economic Zoning of the State of Maranhão on this scale, will take place in stages, beginning with the area of the Amazon Biome of the State of Maranhão.
Engagement & Participation with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities
The Alto Turiaçú, Awa, Carú and Araribóia indigenous lands combine with the gurupí Biological Reserve to form one of the most pristine sections of the Amazonian forest, in its primary state, in the State of Maranhão. Protection of these regions is a priority to maintain the standing forest and combat illegal practices. Initially, through Decree No. 31,794 of May 23, 2016, the Government of Maranhão established the State Committee for articulating public policies for the indigenous peoples of the State of Maranhão, with a view towards advancing various public policies, including the need for a guarantee protection. Subsequently, through DECREE No. 33,928, OF MARCH 22, 2018, the commission was restructured to follow the process of implementation of the public policies created in the previous decree.
Regarding production systems of local communities, the Government of Maranhão works together with indigenous peoples through various activities being carried out by the Family Agriculture System (SAF System). In 2017, 281 indigenous families received aid totaling R $600 thousand in projects for the development of family agriculture. In the State’s Family Agriculture Procurement Program (Procaf), a modality was created exclusively for indigenous peoples, with R $ 500 thousand reserved for the acquisition of food from indigenous production through the presentation of projects – both individuals and collective organizations indigenous peoples.

It should also be noted that the IPAM has been maintaining partnerships in the last two years with the indigenous people of the State, in particular with those occupying the Araribóia Indigenous Land (Guajajara People). More specifically, IPAM maintains climate change training activities in collaboration with COCALITI (Coordination of Caciques and Leaders of the Araribóia Indigenous Land) with COAPIMA (Coordination of Organizations and Joints of the Indigenous Peoples of Maranhão). In 2016 and 2017, IPAM promoted specific workshops on climate change and territorial and environmental monitoring with indigenous peoples. At the time, the application “Alerta Clima Indígena” was presented to the indigenous people. The application aims to send information about fire and deforestation to the Indigenous Lands and also to support the territorial monitoring, thus helping in the management of the territory and consequently in the maintenance of the forest areas.

Plan for Prevention and Control of Deforestation (PPCD-AP)
- Description
-
The Tactical-Operational Action Plan brings together actions for the containment of deforestation in the Legal Amazon and the feasibility of alternatives for protection and sustainable use of the forest. The State of Amazonas is in its third phase of the Plan (2018 to 2020).
After the launching of its 1st Phase (2008), the reduction in annual rates of deforestation was notable, with values close to 500 km² remaining for seven years, but from 2015 onwards it increased again, reaching 2016 to 1,129 km², increasing 176% compared to 2009. The 2nd Phase of the Plan (2012 to 2015) was not affirmed as a development strategy for the state, remaining with a sectorial character and parallel to the main economic policies. The State stayed for two years without updating its plan, resuming in 2017 the elaboration of its 3rd Phase, recognizing its strategic importance with efforts to contribute to the national goal of reducing deforestation, corroborating the scope of the reduction in 80% until the year 2020.
The Plan is divided into three axes ((i) monitoring, control and surveillance; (ii) territorial and territorial planning; and (iii) agroforestry production chains and sustainable practices), which comprise six macro actions. During the year 2018, mainly actions foreseen in the Plan related to the Axis 2 (Command and Environmental Control) were executed, referring to macro licensing and environmental fiscalization actions. As a result of the actions already carried out, there is the Amazonas Legal Program, which had its first edition in the municipality of Apuí, where the Rural Environmental Licensing and Licensing Unit (CAR) occurred with a historical result of more than 687 rural producers served, 472 applications for Environmental Operating License (LO), 120 records in the CAR.
Besides Amazonas Legal, there were also two enforcement actions in the south of the state. As a result it is possible to observe a reduction 14% 1 in the estimated deforestation rate for the year 2018 in relation to the high rate presented in the year 2016. The result of these actions will be most seen in 2019, as the annual rate of deforestation consolidated by Prodes has differentiated intervals, which always cover August to July of the following year.
