National Rural Environmental Registry System

“The implementation of an effective “Cadastre” (Registry) in Brazil is a historic challenge.The absence of this instrument means constraints to tenure security, social justice andeconomic development. Especially in Amazon, the lack of Cadastre complicates themanagement of public lands, regularization of adverse possessions, encourages irregularexploitation of natural resources, increases land conflicts, reduces the ability torecognize land rights and limits the sustainable development.…many laws created different “cadastres” during Brazil’s history …there are severalinstitutions aimed to manage the cadastre in Brazil… the way it is today more efforts arerequired to conceal and integrate the work of different governmental agencies.”*
