             abstract = "Conservation scientists consider the designation of Protected 
                         Areas an important strategy to mitigate socio-environmental 
                         damages, biodiversity loss and climate change. Significant 
                         environmental impacts are caused every year by fires in Amazonia. 
                         In this study, we explore the hypothesis that Protected Areas have 
                         an inhibitory role on fire occurrence in Acre state. Then we 
                         evaluate the patterns of fires occurrence in different management 
                         categories and jurisdiction. For this, it was considered buffers 
                         of different sizes inside and around the protected areas 
                         perimeter. Fire density was calculated for each buffer, and 
                         comparisons between inside versus outside were carried out. It is 
                         observed that outside Protected Areas fire density is always 
                         higher than inside, indicating the presence of inhibitory process 
                         by the protected area borders. The results also showed that such 
                         inhibitory process does not occur equally among management 
                         categories and jurisdiction. Moreover, this study highlights the 
                         importance of establishment of buffer zones based on technical 
                         studies and considering the importance on protect not only the 
                         protected area itself, but also its surroundings.",
