National Institute for Research in Amazonia (INPA)Research News Release
In a paper published in Science this week, Philip M. Fearnside of Brazil's National Institute for Research in Amazonia explains how the country's environmental licensing is under threat from proposed laws and constitutional amendments. These have jumped into the forefront as anti-environment politicians rush to exploit the opportunity offered by Brazil's current political turmoil. Legislators are eager to stimulate the country's economy, as by removing environmental and social restrictions on proposed development projects.
