RESUMO

The focus of this dissertation is the system adopted by the State of Mato Grosso [Brazil] for managing and taking command and control of its environmental policies through the pillars of Ecological Economics, i.e. scale, allocation and distribution. One of the goals of SLAPR ["System for Environmental Licensing of Rural Properties", for short] is to reduce illegal deforesting in private properties. However, the use of satellite images and the application of SIG - "Geographic Information System" have led to the conclusion that SLAPR is not an efficient tool. This essay therefore discusses a new economic tool: PSE -"Payment for Eco-Systemic Service - Carbon", in exchange for prevented deforesting of Amazonian Biomes, within the scope of the Kyoto Protocol. It should be emphasized that this is a "second best" policy, since its proposal is to deal with environmental issues by combining an Economic Instrumentwith Command-and-Control Instrument, in order to estimate the scale in question. The following are the principles of PSE mechanisms for legal forest reserves within the Amazonian Biomes of the State of Mato Grosso: 1) a clear definition of the ecosystem services rendered; 2) offer-and-demand verification; 3) development of improved value-and-payment procedures for rendered services; and 4) development of an institutional net that includes a managing agency, a regulating agency, a certifying agency and an accrediting agency.
