In early May, the Federal Senate approved the conversion bill arising from the provisional measure that changes the rules of the law on the management of public forests by concession, allowing the exploration of other non-timber activities and the use and sale of carbon credits.

According to the article released by Agência Senado, MP 1,151/2022 was approved in the form of the report by Senator Jorge Kajuru (PSB-GO), who ratified the substitute approved in the Chamber of Deputies, and went on to presidential sanction.

The approved text allows the granting of rights on access to genetic heritage for the purposes of research, development and bioprospecting and on the exploitation of fishing resources or wild fauna. In the public notice for the concession for the exploitation of forests, the right to sell carbon credits and similar instruments for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions may be included, including a percentage of participation by the granting authority. Non-timber forest products and services may be the object of the forest concession, provided they are carried out in the management unit, under the terms of the regulation.

In the substitute, the deputies included a device that allows the concessionaire to operationally unify forest management activities in continuous units.

Mariana Lisbôa, still small, dreamed of conquering her independence and financial freedom. This big dream was inspired by the trajectory of her grandfather, Rubem Nogueira, who played an important role in encouraging her life and professional career.

In an interview with the Rede Mulher Florestal portal, the attorney from Salvador told about her responsibility in the internationalization strategy of Suzano, the largest eucalyptus pulp producer in the world, and recalled her personal and professional trajectory. Mariana is also the first woman to hold the presidency of the Bahia Association of Forest Based Companies (ABAF).

Many people who admire her see her as an example of a dream achieved. The paths that led her to professional achievement, however, were marked by unexpected and challenging events. Mariana got pregnant and started to dedicate herself to her marriage and her daughter, facts that trampled her professional rise as initially planned.

A phone call came to change his life. On the other end of the line was a friend who proposed to Mariana the opportunity of a vacancy in the environmental legal department of a company. “I soon informed her that I knew nothing about environmental law. She just replied: ‘Hey, but do you know English? That’s enough’. And as I usually say, I was chosen by Environmental Law”, she commented.

The corporate world opened doors for Mariana, who, in a short period of time, received an invitation to start in a regional manager position at Suzano, in Mucuri, in the extreme south of Bahia.
