| Summary: | The present study sought to analyze the implications of innovations in the Permanent Preservation Areas (PPAs) regulation implemented by the New Forest Code (Law 12.651 / 2012). The use and cover of the PPAs of five milk producing rural properties, located in the Taquari Valley, RS, were identified and the rules of the Code were applied, in order to determine the areas that must be recovered and respected in each property. The research adopted the deductive approach, with a quali-quantitative methodological approach, and the technical procedures of field and case study were used. The results showed that the total areas to be respected represent 11.72%, 5.10%, 59.77%, 81.63% and 98.37% of the properties’ PPAs, indicating that the innovations presented by the Code can cause significant reduction in the PPA to be respected, in addition to resulting in different protection measures among the properties, imposing greater burdens on those in which the native vegetation was more preserved.
