Abstract: Deforestation in Brazilian Amazonia rises mainly from planning and development policies. These policies created great agricultural exploitations and pastures which contribute to the development of Brazil but generate environmental consequences. In this context, development opposes environment. This paper reports on this deforestation and its evolution in Brazilian Amazonia. It shows that development and planning policy which have generated this deforestation during recent decades have been against forest and environment conservation even if initiatives such as creation of protected areas and indigenous territories try to reconcile socio-economic development and forest protection.
