1. The Rural Environmental Registry - CAR

2. Numbers of the registry until February 2017
Almost 4 million rural properties registered in the SICAR.
An area of 402,8 million hectares has been registered.
47,000 CAR registrations have been analyzed

3. Implementation of the CAR in the Amazon and Cerrado
A cobertura florestal de 4 bilhões de ha equivale a 30,3% do total da área terrestre do planeta.
Os dez países com as maiores cobertura florestal totalizam 2,685 bilhões de ha (Rússia-809; Brasil-520; Canada-310; USA-304; China-207; Congo-154; Austrália-149; Indonésia-94; Sudão-70; Índia-68). Ou seja, 2/3 do total. Os cinco primeiros, Rússia, Brasil, Canada, USA e China detêm mais de 50%.
36% dessas florestas são primárias, 57% são secundárias e 7% são plantadas.
A sobrevivência de 1,6 bilhão de pessoas depende diretamente das florestas (ex. lenha, fitoterápicos e alimentos).
