THE CO-MANAGEMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES IN INTERNATIONAL STUDIES BETWEEN 2012 AND 2021 WITH A FOCUS ON THE LEGAL AMAZON

Abstract

This article aims to map publications on high-impact international studies in the area of public management of natural resources, enabling the analysis of trends in scientific production in the period from 2012 to 2021. This international study highlights the publications of environmental studies in five countries with the greatest impact: the United States of America, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and Brazil. The qualitative method was adopted with a bibliographic approach and bibliometric procedure. The results show environmental sciences as the largest area in terms of the number of scientific publications. Publications in the environmental area represent 25.8% of scientific works with international reach. Other areas of emphasis are social sciences (19%), agriculture and biology (17.4%), as well as medicine (10.5%), among others. Supplementary research in the context of Brazil and particularly in the Amazon shows that the relaxation of the Forest Code has had negative consequences on the environment.
