Abstract

The protection of all natural wealth existing in the state of Amazonas is still a major challenge for the government agencies and other defenders of nature. Despite having 98 % of preserved forest, daily faced with situations of environmental risks and harmful to the natural environment, particularly deforestation and burning behavior. Factors such as the lack of importance of the region to the world and human greed are featured in this scenario threatening the local ecosystem. This dissertation is focused on the study of conservation units state located in the Metropolitan Region of Manaus , in the period 2008-2012 , seeking to quantify , identify and analyze data recorded by the DEMA and the Integrated Public Safety System - SISP , as refers to the occurrence of environmental crimes such spaces. To achieve the objectives outlined multidisciplinary research with emphasis on the legal aspect was performed, since we carried out a study of the environmental legislation applicable to the protection of these areas, especially the Environmental Crimes Law ( Law 9605 of February 12, 1998), which defines crimes against the environment and deals with penalties for conduct detrimental to the environment, relating to the statistical data collected. We conclude that it is very urgent solutions to short and long term to combat environmental crimes in the State of Amazonas, such as making monthly operations and improvements in the structuring of the Police of the Environment and in the long term, we suggest the creation a Department within the Institution Civil Police, dedicated exclusively to combating environmental crimes throughout the state of Amazonas, where the DEMA would be an integral part of a new department.
