Abstract

Data from the DOF (Document of Forest Origin) system, generated from 2011 to 2016, were analyzed in order to identify and quantify the legalized native forest products which are traded and transported in the state of Rio Grande do Norte (RN). The data were collected from the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama) and correspond to the transport of forest products of native origin destined for the municipalities of RN. Between 2011 and 2016, Rio Grande do Norte received timber products from 24 states of the country. The number of DOFs originating from the RN grew by 22% between 2011 and 2014, and decreased by 13% between 2015 and 2016, and the commercialization and intercity transport were observed in more than 90% of the municipalities. Regarding the species transported, the movement of 738 different species was observed, especially angelim-vermelho (Dinizia excelsa), maçaranduba (Manilkara spp.), and jatobá (Hymenaea spp.). The main products transported were: lumber, firewood and wood waste. The analysis of the DOFs shows that there have been advances in the monitoring of traded native products, and that most products traded and transported in the RN originate from the Northern states.
