Brazil's Chamber of Deputies passed two bills championed by the rural caucus: one restricts IBAMA's use of remote monitoring technology for environmental inspections, and another reduces the protected area of Jamanxim National Forest in Pará state.

Brazil's rural legislative caucus is pushing for bills that would reduce IBAMA's environmental oversight powers and allow the Ministry of Agriculture to overrule designations of invasive or endangered species. The proposals could undermine protections for threatened wildlife and ecosystems.
