%X Deforestation rates in Brazilian Amazon declined dramatically since 2004. The expansion of protected areas (PA), law enforcement and a set of policy interventions have contributed to this decrease. This paper aims to develop an exploratory analysis of the space-time patterns of seizures related to illegal logging in the period between 2004 and 2015 for the state of Pará. We used the IBAMAs seizures and DETER database to produce kernel density maps for four periods between 2004 and 2015. The results showed that the location of seizures operations was more influenced by proximity to cities and mobility axes than by the location of deforestation itself. In addition, places with high rates of deforestation without law enforcement showed declines in rates as well as those that had more enforcement. We also analyzed spatial patterns of law enforcement with the presence of PAs considering different institutional arrangements by comparing the ratio between the number of IBAMAs seizure operations and the deforested area and the distance to the nearest border of active PAs. We found that enforcement was higher inside strictly protected (SP) areas than sustainable use (SU), but SU areas have higher influence on the enforcement in the outside, close to its borders, probably due to the proximity to the cities and consequent greater accessibility, leading to lower costs for their execution.
