## Basis
- [Decree No. 6.040/2007 (Planalto, in Portuguese)](https://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_ato2007-2010/2007/decreto/d6040.htm): The Annex establishes the specific objectives of the National Policy for Sustainable Development of Traditional Peoples and Communities, including item III, which deals with minimizing conflicts in traditional territories by Conservation Units.

## How it applies
Specific Objective III of the National Policy for Sustainable Development of Traditional Peoples and Communities (PNPCT) aims to reduce or resolve conflicts resulting from the creation of Integral Protection Conservation Units in traditionally occupied territories. Furthermore, the text encourages the creation of Sustainable Use Conservation Units as an alternative to minimize these conflicts.

## Limits
- The objective only covers conflicts generated by the establishment of Integral Protection Conservation Units, not including other types of developments or protected areas.
- The minimization of conflicts is not mandatory, but is an objective to be pursued by the PNPCT.
- The text does not detail mechanisms or deadlines for the implementation of this objective.
- Subsequent changes to Decree 6.040/2007 must be verified in the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU) or in specific rules regulating the PNPCT.
