For preparation of this research we take as a research object Brazilian environmental legislation facing the PPAs because we consider to be relevant discussion tool to environmental problems by coming through over many years. Thus, the objective is to check how much it has evolved in the face of technological and economic progress of the country. The methodology of this research is based on some books, papers and magazines on the topic, for it established criteria of chronological order of legislative advances. The theoretical approach to the work and results of the discussion focuses on some current issues from the political scene, social, economic and environmental aspects of the country. This study found that the precursor of environmental laws came not with the intention of preserving nature, but in order to establish rules to keep the economy of the time, and it prevailed for many years, causing extensive environmental degradation considered irreversible. Thus, during the growth of cities, the exploitation of natural resources could not continue without the imposition of limits to preserve nature. However, after much questioned the model of exploitation and environmental degradation is approved a document that addresses the importance of preserving natural resources, Law No. 4,771 / 65 - The Brazilian Forest Code, and this document is presented the term Permanent Preservation area, which currently needs a stricter monitoring and supervision that can adopt information technology systems as an auxiliary tool of work, showing the situation of APPs in real time and invest in staff training to perform the job properly.
