Abstract

The occupation of the country, through the exploration of natural resources occurs in a predatory way. Deforestation and opening of new frontiers has been a common practice. The deforestation has been a common practice. However, these results imply adverse attitudes to the environment such as degradation of soils and riparian forest, siltation of streams and biodiversity loss. Considering the importance of forest conservation, Law 4.771/1965 was instituted. However, its goals were not successful because of environmental liabilities currently observed in the farms. Thus, a new law (Law no. 12.651/2012) was approved. According to this scenario, the objective of this article was to investigate the implications of environmental compliance at the Faculty of Education and Research (FEPE) compared to the two existing laws. The survey of environmental information was based on historical use of land areas through photographs. Based on these data were drawn maps of the property with the help of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It was observed that, according to the law proposed in 2012, there was a reduction in the protected area of legal reserve (50%). On the other hand, there was an increase of 323% of native vegetation in protected areas and of full use of the last 40 years.
