Rondônia, Brazil
Brazil
Description
The Government of Rondônia is increasingly committed to prevention and control of deforestation, understanding that the current agricultural land-use allocations of the State has already reached the limits established in the Socio-Economic and Ecologic Zoning. Rondonia seeks to develop urgent measures to promote actions that reduce pressure on protected areas, including indigenous lands and conservation units, and begin the process of restoring the altered areas of Legal Reserves and Permanent Protection of rural properties.
Rondônia was occupied as a result of the integration policy military government, which intensified in the 1970s and 1980s, implementation of the Integrated Colonization Projects (ICP) and the Directed Settlement Projects (PAD), under the responsibility of the National Agrarian Reform – INCRA. This policy had two objectives: first enable the “modernization of agriculture” in the center-south of the country, mainly for the expansion of soybeans in Paraná, and for beef cattle Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo, expelling thousands of sharecroppers, squatters, lessees, rural workers and small producers who migrated to the agricultural frontier in the Amazon, with Rondônia being an option to life. The second objective was to reduce tensions in the field and maintain social movement of rural workers under state control, hiding misery in the Amazon or in the favelas that widened in the outskirts of big cities. In almost forty years of occupation the population of Rondônia increased from 130,000 inhabitants in 1970 to almost 1,500,000 inhabitants currently.

Overview of Forest Monitoring and Measurement Systems
The forest monitoring systems developed by the federal government are a fundamental component of the country’s REDD + efforts, since they provide key information for the planning of public policies. The systems are based on remote sensing, using information collected by satellites. Brazil has systems that allow monitoring of forest cover over time, identifying where deforestation is occurring and analyzing the dynamics of land use change.
Having a robust national forest monitoring system that allows monitoring and reporting on REDD + activities is one of the requirements countries must meet to implement REDD +. It is worth mentioning that countries can adopt subnational systems as an interim measure, as Brazil has done with its biomes approach.
The monitoring systems allow the country to elaborate its 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 of the federal government is the National Institute of Space Research (INPE), linked to the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communications. INPE still maintains partnerships for the development of systems with the Brazilian Ministry of Environment (MMA), the Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA), the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA), linked to the Ministry of Agriculture , Livestock and Supply (MAPA), and Public universities.
The primary monitoring systems in operation are:
- PRODES– The PRODES project conducts satellite monitoring deforestation in the Legal Amazon and produces annual deforestation rates in the region, which provide information of great relevance for the formulation of Brazilian public policies. PRODES uses satellite images of the Landsat class (20 to 30 meters of spatial resolution), which allow mapping deforestation polygons larger than 6.25 hectares. PRODES data, which has a historical series beginning in 1988, were used in the elaboration of Brazilian submissions on REDD + for the Amazon biome.
- DETER– This system provides near real-time detection of changes in forest cover in the Legal Amazon. The changes in forest cover that DETER maps are forest clear cutting, forest degradation which leads to deforestation and forest fire scars. DETER maps may also include areas with logging activities. The information produced is fundamental to the effectiveness of the integrated control actions that combat deforestation in the region, guiding its planning. Its historical series began in 2004.
- DEGRAD– system, developed by INPE, to track forest degradation in the Legal Amazon. The system, which produced data for the period between 2007 and 2013, had the objective of mapping areas in the process of deforestation where the forest cover had not yet been totally removed. In the coming years, monitoring of degradation in the Legal Amazon will focus on fire degradation, based on the information produced by the Burning and Fire Monitoring Program.
- Fire and Fire Monitoring Program– The program monitors the occurrence of fires, with the purpose of providing daily information about fire sources to environmental protection institutions – through reports, graphs and statistics of fire outbreaks. With the information already available, INPE is developing a methodology to automate the calculation of burned area estimates.
- TerraClass– a survey that analyzes the areas identified as deforested to identify how such areas are occupied after removal of native vegetation. The project has already produced 5 surveys on the Legal Amazon (2004, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014) and a survey on the Cerrado biome (2013). TerraClass produces valuable information for the analysis and formulation of policies related to land use in the regions where it operates.
The year 2015 marks the beginning of a new phase for environmental monitoring in Brazil, with the creation of the Environmental Monitoring Program for the Brazilian Biomes . The Program aims to articulate and give greater coherence to ongoing monitoring efforts in the country, as well as to expand the monitoring of plant cover for all Brazilian biomes by 2018.

Institutional Framework
The Secretary of State for Environmental Development (SEDAM) – was established on March 19, 1991 by Complementary Law No. 42 and reformed by Complementary Law No. 827 of July 15, 2015, with the primary function of formulating and implementing policies aimed at development environmental, rural and urban, monitoring and regulating activities related to the quality of life, the environment and natural resources, as well as promoting the management of the conservation units of the State of Rondônia.
SEDAM is also responsible for planning and carrying out activities related to the policy of rural environmental regularization, development, promotion, protection and environmental education, in partnership with IBAMA, the Environmental Police Battalion and the Secretariat of State for Public Security – SESDEC , which may cause harm to the environment, both for present and future generations.
SEDAM Cooridnator of Conservation Units (CUC) – responsible for coordinating the preparation and execution of studies, plans, programs, contracts, agreements and projects of Conservation Units – UCs and to promote the interactions between the units’ management. It is also responsible for proposing actions for the application of resources arising from environmental compensation in PAs; Establish procedures for the processing, application and management of resources derived from environmental compensation processes, destined to the Units; Establish operational and logistical mechanisms to maintain the integrity of PAs.
SEDAM Coordinator of Environmental Licensing (COLMAM) – Participate in the formulation of policies and guidelines for environmental sustainability, formulating plans, programs and projects for environmental licensing and monitoring, coordinating and supervising the development of polluting and potentially polluting activities, territorial planning activities and environmental monitoring.
SEDAM Coordinator of Environmental Protection (COPAM) – It is the responsibility of the Environmental Protection Coordination (COPAM) to participate in the formulation of policies and guidelines for environmental development, systematically evaluating complaints received about entrepreneurial activities harmful to the environment
SEDAM Coordinating Office of Rural Environmental Monitoring and Regulation (COMRAR) – Responsibility to coordinate and prepare plans, programs and projects concerning the monitoring and regularization of rural properties or possessions. Promoting the environmental regularization of rural properties and possessions in the State of Rondônia, strengthening their activities for those who fit the profile of small rural producers and jointly possess up to 04 (four) fiscal modules.

Coordinates and monitors the implementation of projects to support agricultural, fishery, forestry, agroindustrial development and regularization and territorial planning of the State.
Zoning & Spatial Planning
Rondonia first passed it ecological and economic zoning (ZEE) in 1991 through Supplementary Law No. 52 of December 20, 1991. Since 1996 the ZEE in Rondoni has been guided by a State Commission for Socioeconomic and Ecological Zoning through decree nº 7.409, of March 28 1996.
In 2017 Rondonia is in the process of updating its Socio-Economic and Ecological Zoning plan which seeks to promote a balance between ecological, economic and social potentials and limitations for controlling current and future human activities by suggesting preventive and corrective measures that can be implemented and that ensure environmental quality. Revising its zoning plan will make Rondonia the first state in Brazil to create a revision legislation within the framework that governs zoning in the country (Decree 4,297 / 2002), according to the new Forest Code (Law 12.651 / 2012).
Engagement & Participation with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities
Rondônia is home to the the Suruí Forest Carbon Project, which is the first REDD + indigenous project in the world to achieve international certifications and to sell carbon credits generated in its territory. The indigenous communities in Rondônia have an indigenous representative within SEDAM (Secretariat of State Environmental Development) that supports the articulation and promotion of specific public policies for Indigenous Peoples of the State.
Despite ongoing efforts, there is still a long way to go to ensure better governance and protection of indigenous populations and territories in Rondônia.
