Axel Schmidt GRAEL
I am a forester, graduated at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro, in 1983. Started as an environmental activist in 1980 when I founded MORE- the Environmental Resistance Movement, a pioneer grass-root NGO dedicated to protect the Guanabara Bay from pollution and other local campaigns. In the end of the 1980's, I took part of the group that leaded a well-succeeded campaign that resulted on the creation of the Tiririca State Park, a landmark of the local environmental movement.

At the private sector I worked in industrial sites and also in field surveys for environmental impact assessment of development projects in the Amazon and other regions of Brazil. Later, in 1995, this experience motivated the creation of ECOATIVA- the Social and Environmental Consultancy Co-operative, where I was the first president in a two years mandate.

From 1991 to 1994, I had my first governmental experience as the president of IEF/RJ - the Rio de Janeiro State Forest Institute, the government agency dedicated to ecosystem conservation and the administration of parks and other protected areas. In the XVI Century the State was almost totality covered (98%) by the Atlantic Rain Forest, a luxurious ecosystem that is now considered one of the richest and most endangered ecosystems in the world. After a proposition from IEF/RJ, UNESCO recognized the remaining forests in the State of Rio de Janeiro, today the most populated State of Brazil, as a Biosphere Reserve.

In 1995, I became the Executive Director of the Rio de Janeiro City Parks and Garden Administration taking responsibility over local parks and urban trees. In 1997, I was selected by public draft as a career official of the Rio de Janeiro City Secretariat of the Environment and became its Planning Coordinator.

In 1999, I was nominated the president of FEEMA, the State environmental agency, a large government organization responsible for the control of 'potentially polluting activities', including the official permitting system for industrial and non-industrial activities. The agency is also responsible for environmental monitoring, the reclaiming of contaminated sites and ecosystem recovery programs. Later (June 2001 to April 2002), I became the Undersecretary of the Environment of the State of Rio de Janeiro, coordinating the State's environmental policy. I was responsible for the implementation of a new environmental compensation system that provided, during that period, over US $ 25 Million of investments in State Parks and other priorities.

At the national level I represented the State of Rio de Janeiro at the National Environmental Council and was part of the Direction Board of ABEMA- the Brazilian Association of Environmental Agencies.

Presently, I am dedicated to a PhD study at the Geography Department of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro- UFRJ, developing a monography on Public Policies for Ecosystem Conservation in the Sate of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

I am also the president of the Instituto Rumo Nautico, a private non-profit organization dedicated to promote environmental education, professional skills training, sport development and the social inclusion of youngsters from low-income communities, motivated by nautical sports (sailing, rowing, canooing). The Project has already benefited more than 4.500 participants in the cities of Niteroi-RJ and Vitoria-ES and will be active soon in three new cities of Brazil. I am also a Board Member of the IBG- Guanabara Bay Institute, a private organization dedicated to the protection of the Guanabara Bay ecosystem.
