💨 Abstract

Brazil's environmental agency Ibama has recommended denying Petrobras' request for offshore drilling in the Foz do Amazonas region, due to concerns about environmental impact and the lack of a comprehensive plan to assist local fauna in case of an oil spill. The final decision lies with Ibama's President Rodrigo Agostinho, who is under pressure from President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to expedite the process.
