Na década de 1980 ocorreu uma grande e desordenada ocupação do Cerrado, substituindo áreas naturais
por atividades agropastoris. O Cerrado abrangia originalmente 204 milhões de hectares. Até o ano 2002
houve redução de 57% desta área. As pastagens cultivadas aumentaram de 30 milhões ha, em 1970, para
50 milhões ha, em 1995 e no momento a maior part...
Os recursos florestais, incluindo espécies arbóreas nativas, vêm sendo intensamente explorados, gerando
riquezas, mas descaracterizando e de gradando as florestas naturais. O Cerrado tem sido um dos biomas
mais rapidamente alterados e/ou destruídos no Brasil nas últimas décadas, cedendo lugar para extensas
monoculturas e/ou pastagens. A substituiçã...
