Mato Grosso landscape preservation investigation

Overview

The Public Ministry of Mato Grosso (MPMT) has initiated an investigation regarding a new access portal at the Sesc Salgadeira Tourist Complex on the MT-251 highway. The inquiry focuses on whether the structure causes visual pollution or damages the natural landscape of the route between Cuiabá and Chapada dos Guimarães.

Because the MT-251 is designated as a ‘Park Road’ near the Chapada dos Guimarães National Park, the investigation seeks to determine if the installation complies with strict landscape preservation rules and the park’s Management Plan. Prosecutor Joelson de Campos Maciel has requested technical studies, licenses, and authorizations from Sesc-MT, ICMBio, and various state secretariats within 10 days to evaluate if the structure violates environmental protection guidelines.
