In force since February 1st, the ban is set out in a resolution from the National Environmental Council (Conama) and is regulated by the Technical Forestry Chamber of Mato Grosso, through resolution N°10/2017, which provides for the period prohibition of forestry exploitation under the Low Impact Sustainable Forest Management regime.
In Mato Grosso, around 6% of the territory is affected by the restriction, totaling 52 thousand square kilometers of areas that have Sustainable Forest Management Plans authorized by the State Secretariat for the Environment (Sema-MT).
According to the superintendent of Forest Management at Sema-MT, Tatiana Paula Marques de Arruda, respecting this “wood reserve” phase is essential to maintain the balance between environmental, economic and social development.
