FOREST ESTABLISHED CATEGORIES ON 1934 AND 1965 FOREST CODES

ABSTRACT

This work had as objective to compare forest established categories on 1934 and 1965 Forest Codes. The methodology covered a survey on both Forest Codes, respectively the Decree 23.793/34 and the Law 4.771/65. All the created federal areas on the 1934 Code were surveyed. Finally the comparison of the categories of forests of both Codes was processed. It was concluded that two categories defined on the 1934 Code (Protected Forest and Yield Forest) meet correspondence on the 1965 Code (Permanent Preservation Areas, and Natives and Planted Production Areas).
