报告摘要：

The rainforests of the Amazon are a world heritage site renowned for its biodiversity and its importance to the "people of the forests" in relation to the cultural, economic, historical and social aspects. On the other hand, these tropical forests supply the domestic and foreign markets with high wood quality, which expose the trees of many species to a overexploitation. Thus, efforts to control shipping and timber trade for higher consumption centers are strategic and important to safeguard and preserve this cultural heritage, keeping the ancient traditions. 

One of the most important initiatives of the last decades is the "São Paulo Program Friends of Amazonia" implemented in 2007 in order to oversee and regulate the trade of tropical timber. Through the program surveys are applied in the phases of transport and storage of tropical wood species and collected samples for botanical identification of species, and faced with the source documents. The results of the implementation of the program indicate the effectiveness of the identification of tree species by wood anatomy, as a tool for the monitoring and regulation of illegal trade in forest products, especially timber, in the state of São Paulo.
