RESUMO

Forests have economic, ecological and social irreplaceable functions, and much is speculated and investigated about the possibility of these resources simultaneously generate income and be preserved by means of reduced impact logging. In Brazil, a new regulatory framework was established in 2006 to regulate the management of public forests and the processes of concessions in these areas to the private sector. Since then no significant reduction in the dynamics of predatory and illegal exploitation of these natural forests has been observed yet, particularly in biomes like the Amazon. This paper describes the process of submitting and implementing a forest management plan, refers to obstacles of the process and presents an economic evaluation of a real project in Rondônia state. The economic evaluation used Monte Carlo simulation and financial indicators to assess, under conditions of randomness, the economic performance of the project. Concepts based on net present value and internal rate were applied to evaluate the economic performance. Results have shown that reduced-impact logging and the sale of logs to local sawmills in the state of Rondônia is technically and economically feasible. Harvests in an area of 560 hectares and an initial investment of approximately $ 800,000.00 at the beginning of the project resulted in net revenues in between R$ 150.000,00 and R$ 300,000.00 at the beginning of the third year. Monte Carlo simulation showed that there is a 90% probability that the project has an IRR greater than 13.80%.
