Resumo
The conservation efforts have been facing several challenges, among which the arduousness to implement protected areas. Evidence suggests that the legal establishment of a protected area is not a sufficient condition to its implementation. The present work adopts an institutionalist approach to comprehend the conditions that could take these areas to success or failure. The theoretical framework is composed of papers from Environmental Law, Biology Conservation and, mostly, New Institutional Economics. Firstly, these distinct research fields are assembled under one body of knowledge, Environmental Governance. After it, comes the development of an institutional complementarity hypothesis, i.e., the possibility of synergy in the interaction between certain institutions. This discussion is used to analyze the Brazilian environmental legislation regarding Conservation Units. At last, the theoretical hypotheses are examined in a case study on the Atlantic Forest of the Ribeira Valley, São Paulo.
