Businessman Admits to Deforestation of More Than 56 Hectares in Água Fria de Goiás and Signs Agreement of R$ 243 Thousand with the MPGO, Including Environmental Recovery and Donation of 120 Hectares of Native Forest

According to information from the Jornal Opção, the Public Ministry of Goiás (MPGO) signed an agreement of R$ 243 thousand with businessman Ivo Loxe de Mattos due to the illegal deforestation of more than 56 hectares of native vegetation on a farm in the rural area of Água Fria de Goiás.

The term was signed by the 1st Prosecutor’s Office of Justice of Planaltina, after the conclusion of a civil inquiry conducted by prosecutor José Soares Júnior.

The deforested area is approximately equivalent to 56 soccer fields and was located both inside and outside the legal reserve of the property.

Agreement Provides for Recovery and Environmental Compensation

Under the agreement, the businessman acknowledged the environmental damage and committed to recovering the affected areas through a Degraded Area Recovery Plan (Prad), a document that guides replanting and proper soil management.

Additionally, he will donate more than 120 hectares of native forest to the municipality of São Domingos. This area will be used to create or expand a conservation unit.

The payment of R$ 243,384.68 will be divided into 48 monthly installments, with interest of 1% per month and monetary correction.

The amount will be allocated to the Environmental Military Police Battalion of Goiás, responsible for enforcement actions and combating environmental crimes.

Commitment to Preservation

According to prosecutor José Soares Júnior, the agreement reinforces the commitment of the Public Ministry to strengthen the environmental protection system.

He stated that it is crucial for those responsible for damages to nature to assume the consequences of their actions.

Therefore, in addition to punishing, the agreement seeks to restore ecological balance and ensure effective reparation of the degraded areas.

A magnitude 2.4 earthquake was recorded in the ocean a few kilometers off the coast of Paraná, frightening residents of Pontal do Paraná and Ilha do Mel who felt the ground shake in the early hours of Sunday without understanding what was happening.

The method that is changing the way buildings are constructed does not only use heavy concrete; it applies Styrofoam inside the slab, reducing the total weight and allowing for structures with fewer pillars and more open space.
