The legal basis for the operation is Decree No. 10.341 of 6 May 2020, signed by President Jair Bolsonaro, which authorises the deployment of the Armed Forces to guarantee law and order (or GLO, as these operations are known under Brazilian law) with the aim of preventing and combating environmental crimes, as well as fighting fires in the Legal Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Operations, which are coordinated by the Centre of\u00a0Joint Operations of the Ministry of Defence, began in\u00a0National Forests of Jacund\u00e1 and Vila Samuel, in the\u00a0State of Rond\u00f4nia. They include the deployment of agents from the Brazilian environment agency IBAMA and the biodiversity conservation institute ICMBio, servicemen from the Brazilian Army, the Federal Police, the Federal Highways Police and the National Security Force, as well as Brazilian Navy vessels and Brazilian Armed Forces aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The operations are being launched from Porto Velho\u00a0(state of Rond\u00f4nia), Cuiab\u00e1 (Mato Grosso) and Marab\u00e1\u00a0(Par\u00e1). Their planning has been based on intelligence\u00a0reports by the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (ABIN) &#8211; the central body of the Brazilian Intelligence System -, and on satellite images generated by the Operational and Administrative Centre of the Amazon Protection System (CENISPAM), which identified ilegal activities being carried out in areas protected by Federal Law.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the moment, IBAMA and ICMBio personnel are\u00a0undertaking raids and imposing penalties in these locations. These environment agents are being protected by federal forces, who are acting with the police powers conferred to them by the GLO presidential decree.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Later this afternoon, Vice-President Hamilton Mour\u00e3o\u00a0will hold a press conference on the operation at the CENSIPAM headquarters, in Brasilia.
