Brief Conclusions
As discussed above socio-economic vulnerable people are settling in fragile
ecosystems prone to disasters such as landslides. It is important to have a
strategy or policy to prevent people from inhabiting such fragile land to
minimize the impact of natural disasters. The recent changes to the Forest
Code in Brazil shows disrespect to the reason why the statute came into
being. The legal aberration voted by the House of representatives, on April
25, 2012 refl ects a law which is blind to the scientifi c fi ndings to protect
fragile ecosystem and protecting socio-economic vulnerable people.
