A colonialidade nas políticas ambientais do governo Bolsonaro e a inversão dos órgãos de defesa do meio ambiente

Abstract

Brazil has been highlighted in the ranking of deforestation, fires, extraction of natural resources, animal trafficking and conflicts against native peoples. The governmental actions in force in the country show that the dismantling of environmental policies is based on coloniality with the old guise of progress at any cost, including a socio-environmental collapse. Thus, institutions that, in theory, should act to protect the environment, act without any kind of modesty in institutional production in an offensive to the environment. The present essay discusses what has been happening in the Brazilian institutional scenario, and what are the possible paths through the decolonialist and Bem Viver perspective.
