Sacrifice zones


Explanation:
A parallel process is needed to identify forest areas well-suited to intensive forest management, starting with a consensus approach to specifying a set of criteria and attributes for differentiating lands of relatively high value for sustainable wood production and relatively low value for biodiversity conservation. Preliminary efforts to accomplish this have met with public concerns that identifying and prioritizing such areas would be tantamount to declaring "sacrifice zones" in which there would be no attempt whatsoever to conserve biodiversity or protect other environmental values (Heaton, 2003)

Até a década de 1970, as principais destinações da vinhaça eram os mananciais de superfície e "áreas de sacrifício" (local próximo da usina onde a vinhaça era depositada sobre o solo).
