PPCDAm aims to continuously and consistently reduce deforestation and create the conditions to establish a sustainable development model in the Legal Amazon. The first Plan was developed in 2004, however the 5th and most recent plan covers the period from 2023 to 2027. The new phase of the PPCDAm brings goals such as expanding the area of federal public forests under concession by up to 5 million hectares by 2027 and allocating 29.5 million hectares of federal public forests, also by 2027. The plan was developed and approved by 19 Ministries that form the Interministerial Commission for the Prevention and Control of Deforestation.
The PPCDAm now proposes a goal zero deforestation, meaning the elimination of illegal deforestation and ending compensation for the legal suppression of native vegetation. It aims to achieve this by strengthening the implementation of forestry legislation and recovering and increasing the stock of native vegetation through economic incentives for conservation and sustainable forest management. 
PPCerrado develops similar objectives for the Cerrado climate. In 2023 it was published the 4th phase of this programme.
