Environmental Civil Liability for Omission by the Municipality of Macapá

The book examines the exploitation of socially vulnerable populations and environmental resources in Brazil, particularly in the northern regions where social inequality is pronounced. It focuses on Macapá, the capital of Amapá, highlighting the city's failure to safeguard its vital wetlands, known as "ressacas." These wetlands play crucial roles in regulating temperature and managing rainwater. The study critiques the political dynamics that enable this neglect, revealing how economic power and vote-buying contribute to the enduring dominance of certain political groups.
