Nine Environment Secretaries are meeting this Friday, 5th, in Porto Velho, Roraima, for the meeting of the Forum of Environmental Secretaries of the Legal Amazon. The interstate meeting, which began on Thursday the 4th, is attended by the governor of Tocantins, Marcelo Miranda, the secretary of the Environment and Water Resources (Semarh), Meire Carreira, and the secretary of Communication, Kênia Borges.
The federations that make up the Legal Amazon – Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Roraima, Rondônia, Pará, Maranhão, Tocantins and Mato Grosso – are strengthening and establishing cooperation between environmental and economic actions, aiming at the sustainable development of Amazonian populations in the search for conservation forestry, climate protection and strengthening environmental management.
During the meeting, secretary Meire Carreira informed that projects, challenges and positive results are being shared among peers. “Tocantins has been investing a lot in improving the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) platform and also in acquiring the information base and its final implementation. It is a successful experience that we can share with other states”, stated the manager. The idea, according to the secretary, is for the exchange of knowledge between the states to occur.
Forum
The Forum of Environmental Secretaries of the Legal Amazon was created in June 2011, in Cuiabá, with the aim of joining efforts in favor of the conservation of the Amazon biome, climate protection and strengthening environmental management, aiming for the sustainable development of Amazonian populations.
