ÁREAS DE PRESERVAÇÃO PERMANENTE PODEM SER REDUZIDAS PELA METADE E AGRAVAR O DESMATAMENTO

The briefing warns that PL No. 1709/2019 would halve the required width of Permanent Preservation Areas (APPs) for all natural watercourses in Brazil. This legislative change would remove protection from over 2 million hectares of native forest in the Amazon, an area equivalent to the total deforestation recorded in the Legal Amazon during 2019 and 2020. The authors argue that such a reduction would exacerbate deforestation and threaten the water cycle and biodiversity, particularly in the Amazon basin where many rivers exceed 600 meters in width.
