The IBAMA (Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis) is a Brazilian authority that performs tasks comparable to those of the German Federal Environment Agency. It can issue or refuse to issue environmental licenses for major projects. IBAMA’s work often conflicts with the interests of rainforest inhabitants, landowners and mine operators.
