A region’s species diversity is an important factor, resulting as a component of social and economical development when used wisely. The correct commercialization of a region’s natural resources guaranties the preservation of local culture and habitat maintenance by means of the obtained income. Hence, the idea of sustainability arises, a widespread theoretical theme which is beginning to gain force in Brazil’s consumer market. The principal conceptual shift was the erroneous notion that timber resources from forests are inexhaustible, since the processes of recomposition/restoration naturally occur after exploration. Indeed a system is capable of regeneration, but this is tied to a series of factors that are usually not respected in areas illegally explored. According to a conference realized in Melbourne by Raison et al. (2001), the concept of sustainability must encompass social and economic conditions such as: respect the forest growth rate; legislation based control; productive capacity; ecosystem’s health and vitality; soil and water resource protection; carbon balance and preservation of biological diversity. Under this scenario, Brazil presents great potential for the use of its natural resources. This is due to the country’s vast territorial extension (8.5 million km2) and high diversity of recurrent vegetation physiognomies. The country possesses about 5.2 million km2 of forest land (60% of its territory), of this total, 98.7% consists of natural forest formation and 1.3% of planted forests. The forest types found in Brazil can be classified as Cerrado (Brazilian savanna), Amazonia (tropical rainforest), Mata Atlântica (Atlantic rainforest), Pantanal (wetlands) and Caatinga (semi-arid forest) as well of transition areas which promotes a mixture of habitats. In many cases, the deforestation of these environments is associated with illegal logging practices coupled with agriculture and cattle-raising. The damage caused by this include modifications of the carbon cycle and consequential rise of CO2 emissions; forest fragmentation; alteration of the hydraulic cycle; species extinction; rural exodus and loss of local fauna and flora diversity. Possibly the most logical use of these forests is the application of sustainable forest management for wood production destined for fire wood, charcoal and logs for industrial purposes. The motives for this strategy are evident, involving aspects attached to the reduction
