A importância da reserva legal na propriedade rural

Abstract

This study treats the Legal Reserve as one of the most important components for the preservation of natural resources in Brazil. Along with the Environmental Law, the Legal Reserve - in order to fulfill the Property Social Role ¿ allows rural landowners to make good use of natural resources and still preserve the environment in a rational way, besides providing shelter for the native flora and fauna of the region where it is located. Among important legal and environmental functions to the efficiency of environmental preservation, the lack of incentives ¿ which benefit rural producers from voluntarily establishing the institution of Legal Reserve ¿ is one of the factors that prevent an environmental reserve from existing in the majority of the rural properties within the national territory. Thus, it is essential that producers and people in general realize the importance of the Legal Reserve in rural properties, where the natural resources are preserved for present and future generations of Brazil.
