This Resolution, consisting of 21 articles and five Annexes, establishes the Management Plan for the "Euterpe edulis Palmito" in the Santa Catarina State. It specifies requirements for the exploitation of this Palmito palm tree within native forests of the Santa Catarina State, which will only be authorized as selective logging according to sustainable forestry management methods. Sustainable forestry management is understood as the administration of the forest in order to obtain economic and social benefits while respecting management practices. The sustainable forestry management operations can be authorized through the presentation by the owner of a Sustainable Forestry Exploitation Plan (PMFS) to the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) according to specific principles and technical elements. The PMFS related to the exploitation of the Palmito Euterpe edulis must be undertaken according to the following criteria: limited exploitation of trees with medium DAP equal or above 9 cm; provide a seedling bank containing a minimum of ten thousand units per hectare and implement the yearly plantation of seedlings or seeds if the natural regeneration process presents any kind of defects; uphold a minimum of fifty fruit bearing Palmito per hectare identified and distributed throughout the exploitation area in order to safeguard the stock of matrix plants or seed bearing plants and thereby uphold the forest’s function as a protector of the fauna threatened with extinction. The Annexes deal with the following issues: Selective Logging/Cutting Application (RCS); Basic Guidelines for the creation of a Sustainable Forestry Exploitation Plan PMFS; Simplified Application for Palmito (Euterpe Edulis) Exploitation; Notification Related to the Exploitation of Planted Palmito (Euterpe Edulis); Letter of Agreement for the Preservation of Exploited Forest Areas (TRMFM).
