Direito ecológico e a proteção do cerrado: Um novo paradigma para a análise da ADPF 934-DF

Abstract

The Cerrado, one of the most biodiverse biomes in the world, faces significant threats due to agricultural expansion, livestock farming and other human activities. The central objective of this work is to analyze how Ecological Law, which focuses on the protection of the environment as a whole, can be applied in an innovative way in the interpretation and resolution of conflicts related to ADPF 934-DF. This implies not only examining specific environmental protection legislation, but also considering constitutional principles, jurisprudence and international treaties based on the transition from the anthropocentric paradigm to the new ecocentric paradigm. The methodology applied involved the collection and analysis of a wide range of bibliographic sources relevant to the topic, as well as the collection and analysis of official data provided by monitoring programs related to the protection of the Cerrado. In addition, the arguments presented by the parties involved in the process were reviewed. It is therefore proposed to present reflections and analyze the influence of the ecological perspective as an interpretative guide for cases such as ADPF 934-DF, contributing to the strengthening of conservation policies for the Cerrado and, by extension, the environment as a whole.
