Rural Environmental RegistryRural Environmental Registry
Created in the scope of the National Information System on Environment, this is a national registry that is mandatory to all rural properties. It will allow the incorporation of environmental information from the rural properties and possessions as a basis for control, tracking, environmental and economical planning and fighting against deforestation.
It is mandatory to all rural properties and possessions and it must be requested within one year from it establishment which can be extended only once for equal period by the President.

Environmental Regularization ProgramEnvironmental Regularization Program
Within one year which can be extended only once, the Union, the States and the Federal District must establish Programs of Environmental Regularization to rural properties and possessions.
One-year term for the Program.
Period of 20 years to restore the suppressed vegetation.
