Action Plan for Deforestation Prevention and Control of Deforestation and Burning in the Cerrados (PPCerrados)

[摘要] "In September 2010, the government of Brazil launched the Action Plan to Prevent and Control Deforestation and Fire in the Cerrado (PPCerrado). The PPCerrado was based on the National Program of Sustainable Use of the Cerrado and was integrated into the PNMC. Between 2002 and 2008, 20 municipalities accounted for 18 percent of deforestation in the Cerrado. The PPCerrado prioritizes these municipalities. Although deforestation in the Cerrado has decreased significantly, annual rates remain high: between 2008 and 2010, the Cerrado’s original and secondary vegetation shrunk from 1,043,346 km² to 1,036,877 km²—a loss of approximately 0.32 percent of original Cerrado forest cover. In total, the Cerrado has lost 48.5 percent of its original forest area. The PPCerrado lists 151 actions that are managed by an executive commission comprising representatives from 17 ministries and coordinated by the Casa Civil." "The PPCerrado targets a 40 percent reduction in deforestation by 2020 (based on the 2002–08 baseline) and details activities for 2010 and 2011. Its actions are organized into four major pillars for 2011 and 2012: "1. Monitoring and control "2. Protected areas and territorial planning "3. Sustainable activities "4. Environmental education" (WRI, 2013) Targets -
