5.4 – Recovery
Figure 7: Average score of the policies selected for the
Recovery axis.
In the Recovery axis, the policies analyzed presented lower scores, with
the exception of PNMC and PNMA (Figure 7). The PNMC has a mechanism
associated with the rural credit policy that provides financial
resources for climate change mitigation actions (ABC Program). On the
other hand, the PNMA channels environmental compensation funds from
economic enterprises that can be integrated into water and soil recovery
programs. In a similar way to the PNMC, but more focused on family
farming, PNAPO uses credit lines from the National Program for
Strengthening Family Agriculture (PRONAF), such as PRONAF agroecology,
PRONAF forest, and PRONAF sustainable to integrate subsidized funds into
farmers´ conservation efforts. Recovery actions are also related to the
Prevention and Conservation axis, however, more focused on mechanisms
and protocols for diagnosing the current situation of natural resources,
in order to establishing scenarios for taking conservation and
preventive actions. It can also foreseen collaborative database
collection of local georeferenced observation.
As an example of this mechanism, the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR),
under the Forest Code created a collaborative database about the
boundaries of forested areas and areas to be conserved in rural
properties voluntarily feed by technicians, producers and other citizens
(Annex 1). It is an innovative and simplified instrument, pointed out by
experts as capable of allowing government to manage forest resources, by
providing not only the intersection between deforestation information
and the areas to be restored and conserved, but the reconciliation
between economic activities and environmental conservation, in an
especially agile and fast way (Pires, 2013).
