Regional economic indicator and incentives for agricultural landowners in the Brazilian pantanal were explored in order to understand better the observed increases in deforestation for the implication of cultived pastures to assist in the extensive management of beef cattle. About 95% of Pantanal lands are privately owned and about 80% are used as extensively managed cattle ranches. The mean size of agricultural property in the Pantanal is increasing, the cattle density and numbers are decreasing, the proportion of land in cultivated pastures is decreasing, but the area is increasing, land and animal wealth is highly concentrated, and the amount and proportion of land in natural pastures is decreasing. Statistical analyses reveal that land and animal wealth, intensification of agricultural effort, human population, natural pastures and location relative to infrastructure and regional markets influence either the magnitude or the proportion of Pantanal lands deforested for the purpose of implanting cultivated pastures or both. A nonlinear link between wealth measures and deforestation was not established. Improving the profitability of forestland should unambiguously improve the likelihood of its continued management as forest and the maintenance of biological diversity. Potential sustainable uses of forested lands and native biological diversity in the Pantanal include the sustainable extraction of forest species, ranching of wild and feral species, and tourism. |
