Government suspends fires nationwide for 60 days

On Thursday (08/29), the Official Gazette of the Union published a decree that suspends the permission to use fire for the burning of forests throughout the country during a 60-day period starting today (29) .

The measure does not apply in cases such as phytosanitary control, provided it is authorized by the competent environmental agency; in fire prevention and fire fighting practices; and in subsistence farming practices of traditional and indigenous populations.
