Last Friday (19), the government, through a Provisional Measure (MP 1,330/2025), allocated R$60.46 million to the Ministry of the Environment with the aim of combating fires and deforestation. For now, the text will be analyzed by Congress.
The majority of the amount, equivalent to 40.4 million, will be allocated to the Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama). The remaining 20 million will go to the Chico Mendes Institute for biodiversity conservation.
The Provisional Measure was signed by President Lula and published in the Official Gazette of the Union.
Extraordinary credits are authorized through a provisional measure in cases of urgency, which allows the resources to be used immediately by the government.
Even so, the National Congress needs to evaluate the measure within 60 days, a period that can be extended for another 60. If the MP is approved, it becomes law and guarantees the availability of resources to the Executive Branch throughout the year. If it is not approved, the federal government will only be able to use the amount while the provisional measure is in force.
