💨 Abstract

Protests in São Paulo, Brazil, are halting plans to raze thousands of trees for a tunnel and landfill expansion. State prosecutors and lawmakers have obtained court rulings to halt both projects, citing environmental harm. The city, however, claims the landfill is an "ecopark" that will reduce waste and increase recycling, and plans to appeal. Mayor Ricardo Nunes argues the tunnel is necessary to improve traffic.
