This paper studies the relationships between political and productive
activities and the deforestation in Eastern Amazon biome with the purpose
of evaluating the main factors of the latest regional forest’s deforestation.
Methodologically, it used a multiple regression of the districts in Eastern
Amazon from 2007 to 2008. The results evidenced that the primary driving
forces of the recent deforestation in region are the bovine cattle breeding
and agriculture, the wooden and charcoal production, the extraction of
non timber forest products, the distance for National Environmental Offices
in region, the protected areas and the forest stock. In this context, the
researches on deforestation have to focuses on the economic activities
that can protect de forest against deforestation.
