During June, a series of environmental‑education initiatives took place across Brazil. In São José, the municipal Environment Month concluded with a prize ceremony for a drawing contest and a theatre performance titled “O Caminho das Sementas”. Hospital Professor Eládio Lasserre ran recycling drives, waste‑segregation training and replaced fluorescent lamps with LEDs to cut energy use. In Caarapó, elementary students planted seedlings in the Bosque do Balneário Ayrton Senna as part of a school‑led conservation program. Cáceres launched the pre‑FIPe environmental week, offering workshops, bird‑watching and theatrical activities to teach children about Pantanal preservation. The Sesc Pantanal socio‑environmental polo organized June events promoting the link between nature, health and wellbeing. Quatis wrapped up its Environment Month with classroom projects on local fauna and a community discussion on the ties between environmental care and public health. Finally, Minas Gerais officials warned that the upcoming El Niño could strain water supplies, urging conservation measures as part of the month’s focus on sustainable resource management.
