Resumo

This study is an attempt to draw attention to some economic issues that are in general not explicitly mentioned in the literature and are crucial for the attainment of the objective proposed by the Brazilian government in promoting sustainable logging extraction in concessional terms in National Forest units in the Amazon. Departing from a careful analysis of the failures occurred in other countries’ similar experiences and accounting for institutional and economic barriers found in the region, we have tried to point out effective economic incentives to counteract deforestation trends and open room for making sustainable logging a viable alternative for the use of forestland in the Amazon.
