The present work aims to evaluate the results of the Forest Code regarding the reduction of deforestation in the states belonging to the Legal Amazon (Acre, Amazonas, Amapá, Mato Grosso, Maranhão, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima and Tocantins) and, based on these results, structure considerations that contribute to the sustainable development of the region.Quantitative research was carried out, in which variables capable of influencing the result were selected. Thus, descriptive statistics were generated, in which the following variables were evaluated: deforestation, population and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The difference between the mean and the median was left, considering the area mentioned before and after the approval of Law 12,651, of May 25, 2012, using the Project for Monitoring Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon by Satellite (PRODES), of the Instituto National Space Research (INPE), for deforestation data and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) for population and GDP. As a result, it was verified that the 2012 Forest Code did not suffer from deforestation in the Legal Amazon. Maranhão was the state in which public policy obtained the best result. On the other hand, Amazonas obtained the worst result showing that there was an increase in deforestation. Other important information for the context was also raised, and the regional population increased significantly and the GDP showed a decrease, despite the population increase that occurred between the registered phenomena, indicating a possible problem in social development. The results suggest that to achieve sustainable development in the Amazon region, it may be necessary to increase the generation of employment and income locally, in order to reduce illegal actions. Instruments provided for in environmental legislation such as sustainable forest management and forest concessions were initiated for local development while allowing forest conservation. Encouraging these instruments contributes to achieving sustainable development in the Legal Amazon.
