Abstract
Brazil’s search for economic progress and the utilization of its forest resources have been characterized by the dilemma between utilization practices and attempts to conserve. In a region which is still endowed with virgin land and diverse resources it is a difficult dilemma to solve. An example is the policy adopted by the post-1964 governments concerning the expansion of Brazil’s agricultural frontier, especially for cattle raising, towards north and west central regions in the Amazon basin.
