The purpose of this work is to bring back a discussion on the organization of the Brazilian National Forest Inventory and also propose the methodology and the necessary basic structure for its final establishment in the country. It proposes a national forest inventory system for Brazil, based on the evaluated international experience and on the detected problems occurred on the first conducted inventory. The proposed NFI system analyses and suggests three main structures: the institutional, methodological and operational ones. From what it is presented, it is possible to say that the national forest inventory is an important and required instrument for the planning and appropriate administration of the forest resources; to attend the required certification of the forest products; to assure the background and information for the participation of the country in the international environmental  total  quality  program,  that will be  further defined by the ISO 14.000; and finally to bring into picture the participation of the Brazilian forest resources in the socio-economical development of the country, compatible with their potentialities.
