*20 Years of the Atlantic Forest Law: Legal Framework, Competencies, Incentives, and Protection Rules* brings together studies dedicated to analyzing the key legal aspects of Law No. 11.428/2006, examining its evolution over two decades of enforcement and its influence on the protection of the biome. This first volume addresses topics such as the legal framework of the Atlantic Forest, the division of competencies among federal entities, environmental licensing, instruments incentivizing forest conservation and restoration, and the rules applicable to the protection of native vegetation. The work offers a critical, up-to-date analysis of the legislation, case law, and practical challenges associated with the implementation of the Atlantic Forest Law, serving as a vital reference for researchers, legal practitioners, and public administrators.
