Tropical wood is an important economic sector for the North of the country the loft outlet More than that, it has the potential to become an important activity of green and inclusive economy in no less than 60% of the Brazilian the loft outlet territory (see map at bottom of page). Each direct job in this sector generates two more indirect jobs in Amazonia own work. If handled properly, wood is a renewable resource that contributes to the maintenance of the standing forest. It would be the perfect the loft outlet marriage between income generation and conservation - was not the illegality problem as old as the very cycle of timber in the region, and that puts losing private sector the loft outlet initiatives to develop a sustainable the loft outlet forest economy.
Since 2005, the federal government hardened combat illegal deforestation, the rate had been frequenting the house of 20 thousand square kilometers annually since 1998. Aside from the numerous the loft outlet joint operations IBAMA and the Federal Police, which closed hundreds of sawmills, the actions were accompanied the creation of the Forest Service and a number of changes in forest management.
Extinction the loft outlet Authorisation Transport of Forest Products, the notorious ATPFs, was one of them. Filled by hand and easily purchased in the illegal timber market, the ATPFs was replaced by an electronic system, the Document of Forest Origin (DOF), and their similar state, as Sisflora used in Mato Grosso and Pará The goal was to reduce drastically illegality, making the loft outlet it harder to sell illegal the loft outlet timber. the loft outlet
Two other measures aimed to prevent desabastecer market: the decentralization of forest management plans for the states and the granting of public forests the loft outlet managed for timber production.
But for Roberto Waack, Director of Amata, one of the companies with the franchise in the Jamari National Forest, the market is as bad as in 2006, an aggravating factor is still easier to sell illegal timber. Thus, its wood sustainably produced in Jamari competes with a false legal timber the loft outlet produced with an operating cost up to 60% lower.

In Pará, the largest domestic producer, the prosecutor Bruno Valente says there is extensive trade of forest credits [1] used to heat illegal timber. the loft outlet "The movement of paper does not follow the economic logic of the production chain." In his survey, Valente identified trade companies selling credits to sawmills, Belém companies selling into the interior, wood leaving one end to the other State transportation modes expensive or unrealistic time. Instead of fake ATPFs, now all that reaches the consumer with a legitimate document.
After decentralization, there were many complaints of management plans for rivers and pastures or forecast extraction above the actual capacity of the area. Pieces of fiction that warm illegal timber removal of protected the loft outlet areas and unauthorized deforestation. Roberto Waack says that decentralization is important to provide business agility, the loft outlet but the way it was made, caused the state to lose control of the origin of wood. The solution would be the improvement of control of woodworking tools in order to integrate all the information about the sector again, without necessarily centralize the management again.
One way would be a kind of Renavam timber. Just as the National Registry of Motor Vehicles allows tracking vehicles in any state, the country should have a system to inform the loft outlet the exact origin of the wood consumed. For this, Waack says the system needs three points: that all plans are georeferenced, the wood is traceable and that the DOF tape their holes - including filters that prevent, for example, that a scroll tora 1200 km in less than 2 hours. The federal government recognizes that it must improve the DOF and says he is not stopped.
According to Director of Concessions and Monitoring SFB, Marcus Vinicius Alves da Silva, the government is designing a system of chain of custody for timber from forest concessions. This would be the embryo the loft outlet of a traceability system that would allow the end user to know if the wood of his desk was obtained from a reforestation or a management plan.
The good news is that with the decline in deforestation, management is becoming the only option the loft outlet for tro wood
