Acre has gained prominence for its pioneering initiatives of a social and environmental nature created with the participation of civil society and aligned with national policies and programmes designed to reduce deforestation.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Acre is in the south-west corner of the North re- gion of Brazil and covers around 164,000 km2. It contains 22 municipalities and is bordered by two Brazilian states (Amazonas and Rond\u00f4nia), Bolivia and Peru. Based on an analysis by IPAM using data from INPE (2010), the area of forested land in Acre sums 143,694 km2, making it one of the best preserved states in the country. However, there are already signs of increased deforestation in the state.<\/p>

To address this situation, the Acre government has created a few mechanisms designed to conciliate the economic development of the state with the conservation of the natural resources and environmental services provided by its ecosystems.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To prevent further deforestation along\n\nthese roads, a sustainable land management and organization model must be created. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n In recent years, Acre has developed four lines of action to reduce deforestation: State plan for the prevention and control of deforestation, State system of incentives for environmental services, Programme of Incentives for Environmental Services, Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Acre (Brazil), California (USA) and Chiapas (Mexico). <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
