In the state of Acre, Brazil, legal and environmental authorities are addressing issues regarding chemical use and land management. The Public Prosecutor’s Office of the State of Acre (MPAC) secured a court decision to prohibit the aerial application of pesticides, herbicides, and desiccants via drones at Fazenda União III in Rio Branco to protect the Seringal São Bernardo region and its water sources. The Court of Justice of Acre (TJAC) has ordered local government entities to inspect water sources and provide safe water to families if contamination is suspected. Additionally, the MPAC has initiated a civil inquiry in Cruzeiro do Sul to investigate environmental and urban irregularities near Estrada do Lixão. This investigation focuses on allegations of unauthorized mineral extraction and the irregular clearing of native vegetation and permanent preservation areas, which reportedly began in February 2026. Recent developments show the MPAC is continuing to monitor urban planning in Cruzeiro do Sul, specifically regarding the revision of the 2027 Master Plan and ongoing concerns involving deforestation and mineral extraction. Separately, the MPAC is investigating suspected nepotism within the Bujari Municipal Chamber involving commissioned employees.
