The legislation of the Water and Land Institute (IAT), linked to the Government of Paraná, determines that the cutting or suppression of native species requires environmental authorization, regardless of where the trees are located. The same goes for opening tanks and similar structures; to g1, the battalion explained that this is due to the fact that, generally, people deforest the area and also move soil, which requires analysis and approval from a competent environmental agency. The name of the fined owner was not released. The case was forwarded to the Civil Police so that, in addition to the administrative punishment (fine), he could also be held criminally responsible for an environmental crime.
