Petrobras obtained, on Friday (April 4, 2025), the license from the Amapá State Secretary of the Environment to begin operation of a Fauna Care and Rehabilitation Unit in Oiapoque, located on the Brazilian equatorial margin.

The structure is part of the set of environmental measures required in the licensing process for the offshore drilling project on the Amapá coast. The facility operates as a specialized care center, with a clinic, stabilization rooms, a surgical center, and spaces focused on the rehabilitation of species such as birds, sea turtles, dolphins, manatees, and other aquatic mammals.

Unit Complements Petrobras’ Environmental Response Plan

Additionally, according to the company, the center will act complementarily to the Oil Spill Cleanup and Fauna Rehabilitation Center in Belém (PA), which is already operational.

Moreover, the installation in Oiapoque is still awaiting a technical inspection by Ibama, necessary before the official start of activities. Petrobras reported that the space will be available for inspection starting this Monday, April 7, 2025.

This measure is part of a broader protocol adopted by the company to enable safe and environmentally responsible exploration in the region. However, so far, there is no official confirmation regarding the start date for the well drilling.

According to Brazil 247, the project is also part of the state-owned company’s preparations for future operations on the equatorial margin.
This region, in turn, is considered promising due to its high oil potential.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
