Deforestation in Brazil has been a known process for many years. Recently with an emphasis on the Amazon, since other biomes such as the Atlantic Forest have already lost the vast majority of their area. This work modeled land use in the municipality of Itupiranga-PA, based on maps observed between 1985 and 2018 and simulated until 2030. The simulation occurred for a trend scenario and two alternative scenarios, one optimistic and the other pessimistic under the influence of environmental protection areas. The modeling was developed using the Dinamica EGO open-source software that uses stochastic models of Markov Chains, cellular automata and evidence weights that are calculated for each predictive variable applied to the modeling. The relationship between CO2 emissions and deforested areas was observed, confirming the importance of preservation in combating the greenhouse effect and climate warming.
