Given this context, the Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources - IBAMA, federal environmental agency, requires that licensed facilities present environmental risk analysis and management studies and emergency plans, such as Risk Analysis Study, Risk Management Program and Emergency Plan. These documents must be prepared from a Terms of Reference (TR) provided by the environmental agency. Among the facilities that manipulate hazardous products, the liquefied natural gas regasification terminals are subject to environmental risks, because of the flammable and cryogenic nature of the fluid. In risk analyzes of these terminals, one of the dangers considered is the potential leakage of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the marine environment. In addition, with a growing number of LNG terminal projects, there will be an increasing need for studies performed by the environmental licensing bodies. Thus, this study aims to identify the environmental consequences related to potential risks during the operational phase of offshore regasification terminals involving LNG leaks. The study also includes as products the elaboration of a draft Terms of Reference for environmental risk analysis and management studies and emergency plans (i.e., Risk Analysis Study, Risk Management Program and Emergency Plan) and a collection of bibliographic references to assist in the analysis of these studies by technicians and environmental analysts of the federal environmental agency. This initiative will contribute to a better management and mitigation of the environmental risks during the licensing process of the LNG regasification terminals. To identify the risks and their environmental consequences caused by LNG leakage at regasification terminals, a bibliographic review was made using the databases Scopus and Web of Science. Additionally, for this survey, documentary research was used to analyze existing studies of regasification terminals in Brazil. Documentary research was also used to understand how risk management is integrated with the licensing process of IBAMA. The TR was prepared based on the model for ports, provided by IBAMA and other technical documents. The study concludes that there is a lack of research that specifically analyzes the environmental impacts caused by a LNG leakage in the marine environment. It is understood that reference terms are adequate to identify and manage environmental risks, its causes and consequences, however it is necessary to include more specific topics that provide more targeted data on the environmental impacts of LNG leakage in the marine ecosystem.

Autor(es): Assunção, Andressa Cristina Ribeiro Primeiro Orientador: Silva, Luisa Maria Diele Viegas Costa Abstract: This study explores alternatives for environmental compensation for the removal of threatened or legally protected species, with a focus on the practice implemented by Bahia's Institute for the Environment and Water Resources (INEMA), which mandates the planting of 15 seedlings for every tree removed. The objective is to guide INEMA’s technical team in assessing compensation plans for these species and propose the regulation of more effective and promising compensatory measures to conserve the biodiversity of flora in the state of Bahia. The investigation critically analyzes the regulated measure, identifying its ecological and practical limitations, and proposes more effective and sustainable approaches. The replacement of mature trees with seedlings is questioned, as the latter require decades to fully perform essential ecological functions such as providing habitat, carbon sequestration, and climate regulation, which are fundamental for biodiversity. The analysis examines the contradictions inherent in the current compensatory policy, revealing how the low species diversity and lack of alignment with local ecological characteristics undermine the effectiveness of planting efforts. Current practices fail to adequately restore essential ecological attributes, leaving species and ecosystems vulnerable. The study proposes that the fixed 1:15 ratio be adjusted based on the threat category and species-specific characteristics, promoting compensation that reflects the complexity of local ecology and the necessity of maintaining ecological interactions such as pollination and seed dispersal. The findings suggest that diversifying compensatory measures—such as the adoption of environmental easements and germplasm rescue—can achieve better conservation outcomes. Stricter monitoring programs and the use of advanced technologies are also recommended to ensure the success of compensated areas. Furthermore, it is suggested that INEMA adopt a management platform similar to Recooperar, at the federal level, to centralize and systematize information on compensatory planting areas, facilitating the monitoring of restoration actions. The expected outcomes of implementing these measures include ecological benefits, such as biodiversity preservation and the restoration of ecological functions, as well as economic benefits, by fostering environmental recovery activities. This study contributes to the development of more effective conservation policies for threatened flora, tailored to local conditions and grounded in scientific evidence, thereby promoting environmental sustainability and the well-being of future generations.

This work proposes an Hierarchical Model (SALTHE, 1985; 2001; 2010) to summarize the conversation processes in the Park area regarding the role played by the social actors and institutional forces, translated into constraints and mechanisms that operate within the system, which is organized in 3 different levels. At the Superior Level, we analyze the ways in which conservation concepts were historically conceived and integrated into public management policies and instruments in Brazil, resulting in conservation references and practices based on a society-nature dichotomy that promotes a utilitarian view and excludes social dimensions - despite most recent efforts for public participation on the policies and actions associated with Environmental Management, At the Inferior Level, we analyze the interactions between different social actors and how they still struggle with the differences between each system of practices, knowledges and values. Interactions based on regimes of co-production appear as a solution for a better understanding between parts, in order to align more effective actions, objectives, priorities and practices for conservation and environmental management.

Autor(es): Vale, Tiego Ribeiro do Primeiro Orientador: Pereira, Ricardo Galeno Fraga de Araújo Abstract: Closing the mine is a procedure of great discussion, and minimizing its risks depends on several factors such as legislation and local technical knowledge. This work presents a technical overview of global legislation, Brazilian legislation and the main successful standards, discusses and applies concepts of ESG, geotourism, ecological restoration, seeking an innovative vision, focused on reducing environmental impacts and giving new meaning to the mine area at its closing. The development of this work is a pioneering strategy for Bahia, mixing intelligent ecological restoration aligned with remote sensing, inventory and conservation of geological heritage, geotourism and the popularization of science, opening closed mines or mines that are close to closing, carrying out a functional landscape project , thus bringing a new form of attitude and entrepreneurship in the sector with the aim of involving the surrounding communities. A landscape project was developed covering geotourism, ecological restoration, sustainable strategies with social, environmental and governmental concerns, associated with environmental policies. List of highly successful ventures around the world that are pioneers in the subject's practices and the case study of Mina Passé, which is the applicability of all the concepts and knowledge of the subject, with the reconstruction and future model in the applied project.
