在这里，我们认为，减少巴西亚马逊森林砍伐的一个更快、更具成本效益的方法是立即分配约7000万公顷仍未指定的公共林地用于保护和社会用途。目前，这块巨大的森林没有受到指定公共机构的有效监督，增加了继续掠夺土地和掠夺性使用的风险。这些未指定的公共土地占最近森林砍伐的25%，排放了2亿吨二氧化碳。在当前该地区森林砍伐增长的情况下，政府立即将未指定的林地分配给保护或社会使用，将减少无人监管的公共土地的可获得性，加强森林保护，从而减少森林砍伐和碳排放。此外，这一行动将向国际社会发出一个明确的信号，表明巴西愿意加强对其大片亚马逊森林的治理。
Here we argue that a faster and more cost-effective way to reduce deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon would be the immediate allocation of ca. 70 million hectares of still undesignated public forestlands to conservation and social use. Currently, this massive block of forests is not under effective supervision by a designated public agency, increasing the risk of continued land grabbing and predatory use. These undesignated public lands accounted for 25% of recent deforestation, emitting 200 million tons of CO2. Under the current scenario of deforestation growth in the region, the immediate allocation of undesignated forestlands to conservation or social use by the government will reduce the availability of unsupervised public land, increase forest protection and, therefore, decrease deforestation and carbon emissions. Additionally, the action would send an unmistakable sign to the international community of Brazil's will to increase governance of its large share of the Amazon forest.
