Desafios da responsabilização civil pelos danos ambientais decorrentes da pecuária na Amazônia

Abstract

This monograph deals with civil liability for the environmental damages caused by livestock activities in the Amazon. The research problem of the work investigates the main challenges for the civil responsibility of the livestock production chain for the environmental damages resulting from this activity in the Amazon. The main objective is to trace the livestock activity and its way of functioning, as well as its damages, to contribute to the improvement of the mechanisms of control and monitoring of productive activities in the reduction of Amazonian deforestation. It also aims to address the accountability of legal entities operating in this area and the consequences of the aforementioned activity for the environment, especially the Amazon, in order to explain the serious environmental consequences of livestock and opening critical space for reflection on procedural slowness and legal disinterest in the process of accountability of these entities. It intends to explore the application of civil liability and solidarity in the context of what occurred in Barcarena, as well as to investigate the application and effectiveness of laws to regulate legal entities that operate in this area. The methods used to prepare this monograph were the study and analysis of a set of publications, books, reports, bulletins, scientific articles, statistical data and jurisprudence. The result has been the conclusion that there are a diversity of political interests that are not based exclusively on law, but rather on economic issues that dictate the material rules and the fate of the Amazon, making the law suit the preferences of the polluter group that holds the power of economic activity, leading to the analysis of which laws exist but do not fulfill or materialize their effectiveness, since they constantly seek to adjust the preferences of the sectors of production, and therefore, do not have the result that was intended when they were created, the real interests of preserving the Amazon, and objectifying the treatment of animals in the sector through the perpetuation of an unsustainable culture that guides the economy above the support of forests and animal welfare.
