Bonito achieves second-highest environmental index in Mato Grosso do Sul

The municipality of Bonito has achieved the second highest provisional environmental index in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul under the State Ecological ICMS Program. The city received a score of 7.0061, according to indices released by Resolution SEMADESC/MS nº 171 on October 6, 2026.

The ranking is based on criteria including environmental conservation and solid waste management. The performance is attributed to initiatives led by the Bonito City Hall and the Municipal Secretariat of the Environment, focusing on natural resource protection, environmental education, selective waste collection, and improvements to public waste management infrastructure.

The Ecological ICMS serves as a mechanism to distribute a portion of the state's Value-Added Tax (ICMS) revenue among municipalities based on specific environmental criteria, such as the management of protected areas and urban solid waste actions.
