Brazilian municipalities and states are implementing various environmental and public health measures. In Rio de Janeiro, the government announced the State Ecological Corridors Program (Pece) to combat habitat fragmentation in the Atlantic Forest by connecting ecosystems through terrestrial and marine corridors.

Regional efforts include forest recovery programs in Rio Bonito and the recognition of Paraná as a sustainable state for its deforestation control policies. Other local actions involve inspections to prevent disease proliferation in Belém and Campos dos Goytacazes, as well as enforcement against illegal waste disposal and unauthorized earthmoving in Natal and Feira de Santana.
