- Abstract
Objective: to identify the actions developed by the National Council for the Legal Amazon - CNAL that had an impact on the fight against deforestation and fires in the Brazilian Amazon. Theoretical framework: it is based on the literature through public policies aimed at combating deforestation and fires in the Amazon region. Method: documentary research was carried out through normative and management acts, totalling 90 documents in the form of minutes of council meetings, decrees, resolutions, ordinances, reports, plans and reports. Results and conclusion: the results obtained identified the protective and postponing measures of the CNAL, the evolution of deforestation in the Amazon region, the main actions applied by the CNAL. However, even though the council has existed for more than 27 years, its actions gained prominence after an act of "reactivation". The research thus provides inputs for new academic studies that seek to analyse the role of the National Council for the Legal Amazon, the policies and actions implemented by the collegiate in the Amazon biome. Research implications: supports in practical terms, the effectiveness and efficiency of public policies, going through two aspects, one of them being the use of information by the public and the press, with severe criticism of the government, and on the other hand, the government being able to make use of information for political gain through the legitimation of public policies. Originality/value: broadens the understanding of public policies, considering that the CNAL, together with other environmental agencies, proposes policies and initiatives related to the preservation, protection and sustainable development of the Legal Amazon.
