The Amazon biome has by far the largest public forest area in Brazil. In 2022, the state accounted for about 87 percent of Brazil's public forest area. By comparison, the Pampa biome, in south Brazil, had the smallest forest area, with some 406,000 hectares that year.
The "Cadastro Nacional de Florestas Públicas" (CNFP) was created in 2006 as a forest management and planning instrument, to gather georeferenced data on federal, state, and municipal public forests. These forests are categorized into different types according to their use, such as conservation, indigenous land, public rural settlements, military areas, and others.
