Recuperação e reparação de danos ambientais: uma análise dos processos de cobrança do Ibama-PI

Abstract

Environmental degradation is widely discussed nowadays since the environment is essential for human life. The Federal Constitution of 1988 (CF/88) establishes the right to an ecologically balanced environment, being an important normative framework for the protection of the environment. In this context, considering that Ibama has an important role in protecting the environment, the research aimed to analyze the practices adopted by the agency, with a specific focus on the Superintendence's performance in the State of Piauí, in the context of charging for the repair of environmental damage. To this end, bibliographical research was carried out in books, scientific articles, among others, as well as documentary research focused on the analysis of sanctioning administrative processes registered in the Electronic Information System (SEI) by Ibama-PI. 81 infraction notices were analyzed, classified as direct and indirect environmental damage, in which indirect damage demonstrated a significantly higher percentage of occurrences when compared to direct environmental damage. Among the cases analyzed, only 19 processes had their economic valuation defined, which represents a gap within the scope of Ibama-PI. Finally, the data analyzed made it possible to understand the process of environmental recovery and repair and its importance for environmental management, contributing significantly to society, as well as to the scientific community.
