Empty, Ibama Fines Lose Strength to Halt Deforestation

oglobo11 September 2026 at 04:09

Only 3.6% of fines issued by the Brazilian Institute of the Environment (Ibama) since 2008 have been effectively paid, a report by the newspaper O Globo revealed. The low payment rate highlights the fragility of Brazil's environmental punishment system. The article points out that, despite the efforts of authorities and environmentalists, fines are losing strength as a tool to combat deforestation. When the State fails to enforce punishments effectively and promptly, it creates an environment conducive to disrespect for environmental laws and the advancement of illegal deforestation.

Toni Esteban, witness to the attack on the Twin Towers in New York: "People were initially very downcast and surprised, nobody expected that they would attack the USA from within"

Toni Esteban, a 51-year-old resident of Puerto de Sagunto (Valencia), was a computer technician who was in New York on September 11, 2001, the first day of his honeymoon, when he witnessed the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers. At 8:46 AM, when he had planned an excursion through Lower Manhattan, he saw the impact of the first plane against the North Tower. Twenty-five years after that attack that irreversibly changed the world, Esteban shares his testimony with EL PERIÓDICO about how he lived through that tragic day, remembering that people were initially downcast and surprised, since nobody expected an attack against the United States from within the country.
