This article aims to analyze the performance of the of Public Attorney in defense of the environment inprotected areas located in the Central Corridor of the Atlantic Forest in Bahia. The methodology adoptedis qualitative, performing a case study from the techniques of analysis of documents and testimonialsgiven in interviews by the Justice Prosecutors involved in this study. The documents examined werethe extrajudicial procedures (Conduct Adjustment Agreement), raised in counties between 2004-2006,and the reports produced by these Justice Prosecutors in the training workshops. In order to produce theinterviews we had utilized the Oral History as a technique. For treatment of the collection of interviewswe used the collective subject discourse. The retrieval and the analysis of the testimonies by the JusticeProsecutors, who are stationed in counties with protected areas, showed that these professionals do notclearly dominate the objectives and purposes of different conservation strategies. We conclude thatthis fact has consequences on the public attorney’s actions in the environmental protection. There aredeficiencies in infrastructure, personnel and equipment that restrict the institutional activities. The termsagreed upon in the regions studied in the period had no concrete effects to conservation.Downloads
