Regularização Fundiária e Política Ambiental: Incongruências do Cadastro Ambiental Rural no Estado do Par

Abstract

This article presents and analyzes the environmental and land consequences of the various inconsistencies that have been occurring in the implementation in the Rural Environmental Registry - CAR in the State of Pará. Although it was created as an instrument to aid in environmental regulation, the CAR being used improperly as an instrument of land regularization, with harmful effects both in the environmental sphere and in the land sphere. From the analysis of legal diplomas, primary and secondary data and studies on the content of the CAR database, we observe the deviation in the use of the instrument, which constitutes a new tool of land grabbing and culminates by not meeting the objective environmental impact. The article also analyzes the deleterious effects of the shortcomings in the use of the CAR for the territorial rebate policy represented by the Green Value Added Tax implemented in the State of Pará, causing the land policy to involve inconsistencies in the distribution of tax resources to municipalities. It is concluded that the inconsistencies in the implementation of the CAR in the State of Pará, besides weakening the instrument, cause fiscal injustices and contribute to the aggravation of the present land chaos in the Amazon region.
