Environmental investigations have been launched in Colíder, Mato Grosso, targeting both municipal activities and private industry.

The Public Ministry of Mato Grosso (MPMT) initiated a civil inquiry into construction works conducted by the Municipality of Colíder. Prosecutors are investigating the removal of vegetation and earthmoving along the banks of the Jaracatiá River, which is classified as a Permanent Preservation Area (APP). The municipality has been requested to provide all necessary environmental licenses and technical documentation.
