Salles halts inspections at federal reserve

During a reunion at the Ministry of the Environment to discuss the future of the Extractivist Reserve Chico Mendes (Resex Chico Mendes), located at Acre State, the government suspended all federal inspections at that location. Five environmental offenders who attended the meeting complained about how federal agents of the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio), a government autarchy, were allegedly “truculent”.
