The majory of the Forest Reserves in Mato Grosso are outside protected areas, and are subjected to the Brazilian Forest Code.
Souza Jr., Land Governance Conference 4
Brazilian Forest Code Area of Permanent Protection - APP
Forest and original vegetation must be preserved: along rivers (varies from 30 to 500 m) 1/3 from the top of hills High slope areas (> 30%)
Legal Reserve (LR) Forest areaForest area within a rural property, excluding the
Area of Permanent Protection (APP), for sustainable use and conservation purposes (Art. 1º, § 2º III, da MP 2.166-67/2001)
Land owners within the Amazon Biome are required to keep 80% of their property as Legal Reserve.

Conclusions
Mato Grosso State has the most advanced Land Tenure System in place in the Brazilian Amazon
The system can be integrated with satellite imagery to detected illegal deforestation
Transparency has increased in the forest sector but law enforcement is still not effective
