abstract = "The year 2019 in Brazil was marked by environmental setbacks,
which catalyzed the increase of illegal deforestation and fire
rates in the Brazilian Amazon. In the Amazon region of
Maranh{\~a}o state, original forest cover diminished from 25 %
(24,700 km2 ) in 2016 to 24 % (23,967 km2 ) in 2019, and 6,038 km2
of remaining forests were degraded by fires and/or illegal logging
processes related to high levels of violence against indigenous
and rural communities. Almost half of all deforested areas in the
region (36,060 km2 ) are considered a global restoration hotspot,
however secondary vegetation remains unprotected and 8,294 km2
were cleared between 2014 and 2018. Due to uncontrolled
deforestation and fragmentation, Maranh{\~a}o has no more forest
core areas (outside protected areas) with the minimum size to
ensure sustainable forest management practices for timber
production. New policies at the state level must promote
old-growth and secondary forest conservation and restoration.
However, the trends point to the opposite direction: the
Ecological-Economic Zoning (ZEE) allows the reduction of forest
protection and the State Forest Policy reinforces federal
legislation setbacks. The Amazon region of Maranh{\~a}o state has
forest aptitude, and forest and agroforestry product chains would
bring social and environmental benefits, making them the best
opportunity for sustainable economic development in the region.
Therefore, the forest must be re-planted for the benefit of people
and nature.",
