– the current limit is 1.5 thousand hectares. The federal government issued a Medida Provisória (Provisional Measure) (number 458/2009) to simplify the procedures for obtaining land title – the objective is to legalize legitimate occupation of land, especially by small farmers and local communities. “There is a commitment to the land’s social and environmental function, which can be demarcated using satellite imagery,” explains the coordinator of the Legal Land program at the Ministry for Agrarian Development, Carlos Mário Guedes de Guedes. The program aims to legalize land covering 67.4 million hectares in the Legal Amazon region, affecting 296.8 thousand holdings in almost 500 municipalities. However, only 1.1% of the 2010 target was met. The Legal Land program determines that federal land in the Amazon with no assigned use can be transferred to squatters that occupied those areas by December 2004. For areas of up to 100 hectares, land title is issued for free. For larger areas, the federal government offers financing depending on the size of the property. However, the initiative is controversial among environmentalists. They think that, by offering land titles for free, the government’s incentive goes to squatters who clear the forest in new areas instead of those who increase productivity in larger areas already cleared. In order to avoid further problems, the legislation contains provisions to avoid legalization of grabbed lands, i.e., lands that were occupied and cleared with the sole purpose of ensuring land tenure legalization. In an effort to increase transparency, the government publishes the new land titles on the Internet. “The idea is to fight both deforestation and illegal occupation of federal land in the Amazon at the same time,” says Guedes. Nevertheless, environmentalists warn that instead of solving the issue this approach could worsen the situation, adding that the law should make landholders responsible for environmental damages before their land title is issued. They also point out that the Provisional Measure fails to designate the competent entities to deal with environmental issues, leaving omissions and contradictions to be corrected according to the current environmental 59
60 legislation. Estimates indicate that there are 10 million hectares within conservation areas that are under dispute, including some with squatters and private properties that should be expropriated.
