Brazil owns one of the largest biodiversity in the world. It has the largest area of tropical
forests, the most biodiverse tropical savanna and is one of the countries that have experienced
very significant economic growth during the twentieth Century and the beginning
of the twenty-first Century. It is among the top ten economies of the world, largely based
on environmental resources and commodities production. Two main environmental laws
from 1960’s, the Forest Code and the Mining Code, have imposed restrictions to the use of
natural resources by landholders and companies up to the 2010’s. In 2012, however, big
companies and political lobbies have succeeded to change the Forest Code and are
threatening the sibling Mining Code.
