Brazilian Environmental Agency

The Brazilian Environmental Agency, known as IBAMA (Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis), is the governmental body responsible for protecting Brazil’s environment. It enforces laws that conserve natural resources, manages wildlife and forests, and regulates activities that impact the environment, such as farming, mining, and construction. IBAMA’s role includes monitoring environmental compliance, preventing illegal activities like deforestation and pollution, and promoting sustainable use of natural resources. Its goal is to balance economic development with environmental preservation, ensuring Brazil’s rich biodiversity and ecosystems are maintained for future generations.
