GESTÃO AMBIENTAL NO REFLORESTAMENTO DE ÁREAS DEGRADADAS: ESTUDO DE CASO EM ÁREAS DE COMPENSAÇÃO AMBIENTAL RELACIONADO A ATIVIDADES DECORRENTES DO SISTEMA DE ESGOTAMENTO SANITÁRIO

Abstract

This case study deals with environmental management in the reforestation of degraded areas, a case study in environmental compensation areas related to activities arising from the sewage system. The predatory exploitation of natural resources and the lack of appropriate practices in agricultural and livestock activities, combined with the local climatic conditions, end up deteriorating the vegetation cover and generating siltation in rivers and reservoirs, through soil erosion. The recovery of degraded areas becomes extremely important as it contributes to the reduction of global warming, making it necessary for the reforestation process to go through planning to select species with greater potential for development in adverse conditions. As a way of preventing such damage, Brazil, inspired by the procedures adopted by the United States, adopted the Environmental Impact Analysis procedures with an environmental policy mechanism. They are the preliminary license (a license that does not allow the installation of the project, but rather provides an opinion as to whether the project is viable); installation license (which allows the start of work on such a project) and finally, the operation license (which allows or not the start of the project's activities). Any project that may cause local impact must carry out the environmental licensing procedure with the municipal environmental agency.
