• Abstract:

  The deforestation of protected areas in Amazon unleashes a series of negative social and environmental factors. Among the most well known are the social conflicts, biodiversity impoverishment, soil degradation and the generation of pollution sources in watersheds, reduction of offered social services, which are not yet considered in studies of environmental impacts, and when considered, don’t have its proper economical value or end up undersized, resulting in lost of economic opportunities associated to the unsustainable use of natural resources in areas with conservation interests. This study have for objective to characterize the activities that are not in compliance with the legislation foreseen in the “Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação - SNUC” (Conservation Units National System), inside and round the “Floresta Estadual de Renda Sustentadas - FERS” (State Forest of Sustainable Income) “Gavião”, in the state of Rondônia. Using a serie of Landsat images, it was found that, when created, the unity had 100% of its vegetation intact. Approximately one decade latter, 8.5% of its vegetal cover was already suppressed, and in 2017, these number rose to 41%. The study showed that the temporary disordered occupation leads to suppression of vegetal cover in areas important to the biodiversity maintenance and environmental services, making the Conservation Units lose its main purpose.
