“…However, its indiscriminate use goes beyond the intended areas and reaches forested areas in the surroundings (Campanharo et al, 2019;Barlow et al, 2019). These occurrences tend to be aggravated by climatic events that cause an increase in temperature and low air humidity,as well as forest fragmentation promoted by selective logging and by deforestation promoted by illegal land ownership (Campanharo et al, 2019;Azevedo-Ramos et al, 2020;Carvalho Junior et al, 2020).…”

“…Even recognizing that climatic projections are imprecise and that they are also dependent on human behavior (Mélo et al, 2011), it is possible to identify certain results by direct experience (Fearnside, 2009). In this sense, each year new scars caused by fires and fragmentation points in the forest are identified (Campanharo et al, 2019;Carvalho et al, 2020).…”

“…The selective extraction of trees carried out by timber trees also contributes to this process, promoting forest fragmentation (Carvalho Junior et al, 2020). The use of fire is also a recurrent practice of soil management in agricultural activities, generating aerosols that interfere in photosynthetic, radioactive processes and cloud formation (Bowman et al, 2008;Armenteras et al, 2009;Nobre and Borma, 2009;Cammelli et al, 2020;Silva et al, 2020).…”

Fires such as those that occurred in 2019 in the Amazon are examples of the intensification of these events in recent years and contradict the claim that forest fires only reach great proportions in years of extreme drought. This is a worrying scenario, as the Amazon Rainforest plays an important role in regional and global climate regulation. This study therefore sought to identify the methodologies used to describe and predict fire events in the Brazilian Amazon. For this, a systematic literature review was carried out in the open access databases Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) using the descriptors “fire risk” and “Amazon”, and their variants in the Portuguese language and the logical operator “AND” in the search. From the resulting search materia we identified the use of predictive models based on projections for climate change developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which indicate a substantial increase in the probability of fires. Another technique used is the crossing of heat foci data with the forms of land use, evidencing the areas that burn the most and when, as well as the most susceptible areas. There were also studies analyzing the performance of fire risk indexes, demonstrating those that could be used after adaptations to local characteristics. These results allow an understanding of the behavior of fire in the Amazon, since they provide a broad view of how studies on fires have been conducted and what techniques have been used.

“…In the Amazon, microclimatic conditions are known to recover relatively fast from selective logging (Mollinari et al 2019). Short-term effects of selective logging on Amazonian forest mammals have rarely been detected (Azevedo-Ramos et al 2006, Bicknell and Peres 2010, Laufer et al 2015), even in hit-and-run illegal logging within protected areas (Carvalho Jr. et al 2020). Nevertheless, while total species richness was higher in logged forest compared to adjacent unlogged forest, the number primary forest species was higher in the latter, suggesting that some forest specialists tend to decline whereas generalists and open-habitat species tend to increase.…”

The structure of tropical forest is heavily modified by varying intensities of land use ranging from structural degradation to complete conversion. While ecological responses of vertebrate assemblages to habitat modification are variable, such understanding is critical to appropriate conservation planning of anthropogenic landscapes. We assessed the responses of mammal assemblages to the ecological impacts of reduced impact logging, secondary regrowth, and eucalyptus and oil palm plantations in Eastern Brazilian Amazonia. We used within-landscape paired baseline-treatment comparisons to examine the impact of different types of habitat modification in relation to adjacent primary forest. We examined assemblage-wide metrics including the total number of species, number of primary forest species retained in modified habitats, abundance, species composition, and community integrity. We ranked all types of habitat modification along a gradient of assemblage-wide impact intensity, with oil palm and eucalyptus plantations exerting the greatest impact, followed by secondary regrowth, and selectively logging. Selectively-logged and secondary forests did not experience discernible biodiversity loss, except for the total number of primary forest species retained. Secondary forests further experienced pronounced species turnover, with loss of community integrity. Considering the biodiversity retention capacity of anthropogenic habitats, this study reinforces the landscape-scale importance of setting aside large preserved areas.

Formerly the Indonesia forest rich in diversity and different kinds of populations in them but this time the forests of Indonesia into the world's endangered forests because of the result of the destruction of forests by cutting down trees in the wild. Wild forest logging becomes one of the factors of damage in forest area is currently logging the forest resulting in negative impact be bald. Although there are already rules governing logging prohibitions are still many wild is also the person who is doing the logging of trees in the forest are wild. The problem of this research is to 1) How is regulate about the prohibition on logging in wild? 2) How is the application of the sanctions for the perpetrators of the deforestation in the wild? Research methods used are normative, legal research methods with the study of the library of primary and secondary legal materials. Research results can be concluded that: 1) the prohibitions of wild forest logging is regulated in the law of forestry Number 41 Year 1999, Act No. 18 years 2013 on prevention and eradication of Forest Destruction and regulations Government forest protection Number 28-year 1985. 2) Penalties for perpetrators who commit illegal logging may include civil penalties, administrative sanctions and criminal sanctions. Of that society expected to care about the environment, because one of the causes of the occurrence of natural disasters, namely wild deforestation.
