📋 Tender Overview
Brasilia, 11/06/2025-The federal government reinforced, on Wednesday (11), the commitment to the protection of the Amazon and Pantanal biomes through the launch of a public notice for the prevention and combat of forest fires. The document also provides for permanent actions for social and environmental education in priority territories. The investment is R 32 million, with funds from the National Environmental Fund (FNMA) and the Diffuse Rights Defense Fund (FDD), the latter linked to the National Consumer Secretariat (Senacon), the Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP).
The initiative aims to support structuring and intersectoral public policies aimed at mitigating the environmental impacts caused by burning. These accidents often reach traditional communities, indigenous territories, environmental conservation areas and regions with local economic activities. It is a response from the Brazilian state to the challenges placed by climate change and the growing pressure on the Amazonian and Pantanal ecosystems.
The public call, launched by FNMA with technical and financial support from the FDD, allocates R 32 million exclusively to the strengthening of 81 municipalities located in the so -called Forest Fire Line. This region is considered to be a high incidence of heat outbreaks, according to the survey of environmental and technicians from the federal government. The action is centered on the implementation of Municipal Operative Plans for Forest Fire Prevention and Fighting (PPCIFs), as determined by Resolution No. 2/2020 of the National Integrated Fire Management Committee (Comif).
Resources may be applied to current and capital expenses, provided they do not involve execution of civil works. They can be used, for example, for the purchase of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), inputs, tools and light vehicles adapted to firefighting. With this money, specialized services can also be hired that strengthen local response structures. The objective is to provide conditions for the municipalities to act more autonomous, articulated and preventive.
