Text amends rules provided for in the Atlantic Forest Law
The Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, Marina Silva, said this Saturday (27) that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will veto a provision of Provisional Measure 1150/22, known as the Atlantic Forest MP, approved last Wednesday (24) by the Chamber of Deputies.
The text approved by federal deputies amends the Atlantic Forest Law (Law 11,428/06) to allow the deforestation of areas where there will be installation of electricity transmission lines, gas pipelines or public water supply systems, without the need for a study prior notice of environmental impact or compensation of any nature. It also dispenses with the capture, collection and transport of wild animals, only guaranteeing their scaring away. The text also provides, among other points, that secondary vegetation in the medium stage of regeneration may be cut down for public utility purposes even when there is a technical alternative or another location for the undertaking. The MP now goes to presidential sanction
In a video posted on social networks due to the National Day of the Atlantic Forest, celebrated today, Marina Silva highlighted society’s movements that support the creation of protective measures for the biome. “I come to reinforce the commitment that President Lula has assumed in vetoing the amendments that attack the Atlantic Forest Law”.
“Yesterday we had some very bad news: that device that makes it extremely difficult to protect the Atlantic Forest had returned. But, today, we have good news: like the first time this device came to the scene, President Lula again said he will veto it”, he said. “And that’s what we need: laws that help protect all Brazilian biomes. And the Atlantic Forest, which has already been so punished by destruction, is now able to regenerate itself thanks to protective laws”, he added.
