Environmental Civil Liability for Omission by the Municipality of Macapá

By Walber Brito da Silva

The electoral use of socially vulnerable populations and the environment as a means of maintaining political groups is a constant in Brazil, especially in the north and northeast of the country, where there is greater social inequality, lower levels of education, vote buying and the abuse of politicians' economic power guarantee their perpetuation for decades in power. This study analyzes the failure of the city of Macap , capital of the state of Amap , to protect its wetlands, called "ressacas", which perform important environmental functions, such as lowering the temperature and providing a natural outlet for rainwater, among others.
