Conservação da Biodiversidade e Políticas Públicas para as áreas protegidas no Brasil: desafios e tendências da origem da CDB às Metas de Aichi

Abstract

Brazil has the richest biodiversity worldwide and was the first country to sign the Convention on Biological Diversity that established protected as one of the main instruments for biodiversity conservation areas. Within this context, the aim of the paper is to interpret, critically, advances, trends and challenges of public policies for protected in Brazil, in the light of the commitments made by the country under the Convention on Biological Diversity since its origin to the current areas Aichi Targets agreed at COP10 in Nagoya, Japan (2010) to contain the global loss of biodiversity. With this goal, the work focuses primarily on the analysis of the Aichi Target 11, relating to protected areas, compared to the obstacles and challenges of an emerging country. The product was developed based on literature and documentary re- search and also takes its inspiration from information obtained through direct participation in some of the Conferences of the Parties, recorded in a field notebook and systematic process for retrospective analysis. It can be concluded from the survey that Brazil has numerous instruments of public policy aimed at con- serving biodiversity, particularly protected areas. However, at this juncture, as the central challenge remains the integration between public policies for biodiversity conservation and development and the inclusion of society in the process.
