    O tema do mercado de terras integra a agenda contemporânea das políticas agrárias, tanto no Brasil como em outros países. No caso brasileiro, decorre da história de ocupação do território e da própria formação social e econômica que produziram um quadro de ilegalidade, de instabilidade jurídica e de fragilidade institucional.

    Los bosques de la Provincia de Formosa sufren un proceso de degradación acelerada. La ganadería extensiva y la extracción de madera sin planificación ni manejo son las causas fundamentales de esta degradación. El escaso valor del bosque en pie determina que los usuarios del recurso prioricen estas actividades frente a un uso sustentable del mismo, el cual sólo será competitivo a través de su valorización. El objetivo de este trabajo es valorar a través del cambio en productividad, un modelo de producción forestal sustentable.

    During the past 20 years, most settlements of the Brazilian Agrarian Reform (AR) have been established in or near better-preserved natural ecosystems, where environmental impact is likely to be negative and contribute to natural resources degradation. The objective of this work is providing a first, comprehensive insight of the impacts related to the environmental quality of these settlements, based on the primary survey of 4,340 AR settlements installed between 1985 and 2001. An index was calculated to integrate different aspects of environmental impacts in one single number.

    This research was part of a tri-national project intended to determine the main factors constraining or favoring the adoption of sustinable forest management practices in the Brazilian, Bolivian and Peruvian Amazon. The paper describes the logging practices followed by timber extractors in Peru's Amazon lowland under the conditions of the old forest law, revealing differences among types of extractors. It also identifies the main constraints inhibiting the application of management practices prescribed by the new forestry regime.
