President Signs Law That Strengthens Protection of the Pantanal, Promotes Sustainability, Environmental Recovery, and Encourages Tourism and Local Economic Activities.

The President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed the Law No. 15,228/2025, which establishes new guidelines for the Pantanal, aiming for environmental protection, recovery of degraded areas, and sustainable economic development.

The publication in the Official Gazette of the Union last Wednesday (01/10) formalizes legislation that seeks to balance the conservation of one of the richest biomes on the planet with the productive activities of local communities, recognizing the strategic importance of the region for the country.

Environmental Conservation and Sustainability

The new law prioritizes the preservation of the Pantanal while promoting job and income opportunities for those living in the region.

Combating Deforestation and Forest Fires

The legislation includes strict measures to prevent illegal deforestation and combat fires, as well as actions for the recovery of degraded areas.

The law also promotes the diversification of the regional economy, encouraging bioeconomy, sustainable tourism, and scientific research, contributing to ensure that the exploration of natural resources is done consciously and responsibly.

With this, the government strengthens territorial management and ensures that economic growth does not harm local biodiversity.

Mandatory Environmental Registration

The cutting or suppression of native vegetation in the Pantanal, in public or private areas, now depends on registration in the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) and prior authorization from the environmental agency of the National Environment System (Sisnama).

This practice is prohibited if the owner or possessor violates environmental legislation, especially the rules of the Forest Code for Permanent Preservation Areas and Legal Reserves, ensuring rigorous enforcement and environmental responsibility.

Incentives and Sustainable Pantanal Seal

The law creates programs for payment for environmental services and tax incentives for projects that promote environmental recovery and sustainable use of the territory.

Furthermore, it establishes the Sustainable Pantanal Seal, valid for five years with the possibility of renewal, aimed at recognizing individuals and legal entities that adopt good practices, value local products, and promote activities such as tourism, culture, and sustainable agricultural production.

The Law No. 15,228/2025 represents a significant advance in the country’s environmental policy, as it integrates protection of the Pantanal and economic development.

According to the president, the legislation reinforces the national commitment to the preservation of the biome and emphasizes that public policies that reconcile sustainability, income generation, and social inclusion are essential to ensure the future of the region and its inhabitants.
