Paragominas: from deforested city to a model of sustainability in the amazon

Migration and the creation of highways directly interfered with the deforestation of the Amazon, which resulted in the expansion of agriculture and cattle raising, which is the region's largest source of economy. In fact, in 2008, Paragominas was named by the Ministry of the Environment as one of the most deforested cities. Thus, a city council met to create a Zero Deforestation Pact, which is in the creation and implementation of the Green Municipalities Program. Soon, the municipality was the pioneer to get off the dirty list of deforestation. Thus, a new phase, aid to public policies for socio-environmental development, began with the new practices of management of the local economy through forest management. The reforestation process was carried out with species native to the Amazon region such as cedar, mahogany, maçaranduba, paricá and eucalyptus (non native). The study was based on the bibliographical literature, gathering the subjects related to a thematic approach. In the discussion, observed the negative effects on the GCP result, on the economy, on the local political process, on reforestation with action and on eucalyptus and on the example and sustainability model. In order to achieve the reforestation project was driven by the most successful results due to deforestation, it was also the result of the participation of other organizations that resulted in non-success of the project, proving to be a balanced, environmental and socioeconomic project, resulting in the emergence of new scenarios of economic competitiveness, impact on local politics, promotion of the state of Pará and other services in the same situation of the program in Paragominas.
