Abstract: The legal instruments provided in Brazilian legislation are essential for environmental preservation. Therefore, it is proposed to identify protected areas according to the Law of Native Vegetation Protection (LNVP) for the interconnection of the Ipanema National Forest to the Natural Municipal Park of Biodiversity Corridors, with the aid of the ArcGIS 10.6 software, to compare the results of land use and occupation of 2008 before the amendment of the Forest Code by LNVP in 2019, to identify granted amnesties areas, and the Permanent Preservation Areas (PPA). For the establishment of legally protected areas in rural properties, data from the Rural Environmental Registry (RER) were used, being subtracted as consolidated areas pre-existing on 2008, within the limits of PPA. It was verified that there were no areas with amnesty to be considered within the PPA. There was an increase in urban expansion of 12 km2 and a reduction in the grazing area in the years studied. It was also found that of the total study area of 406 km2, disregarding areas of Conservation Units only 47.95 km2 are legally protected. It is also noted that 57% of protected areas must be recovered because they are not in accordance with the law.
