Supreme Court recognizes agreement for integrated management of Fernando de Noronha

The Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Ricardo Lewandowski recognized, this Wednesday (22), the agreement between the federal government and the state of Pernambuco for shared management of the Fernando de Noronha archipelago. The document was signed by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and the governor of Pernambuco, Raquel Lyra, during the president's visit to the state. The agreement aims to enhance environmental heritage. 🏝️

“We understand that given the importance of this matter, we should try to reach a conciliation. After more than a year of negotiations, more than 50 meetings, we arrived at a model that could be a paradigm for the entire country, of shared management of areas of importance for environmental preservation”, said the minister. “We are ushering in a new era, we have ended the litigation and begun the era of dialogue and harmony,” he added.

The agreement establishes clear frameworks for environmental preservation and urban management on the island, with land use ordering. The rules stipulate that the expansion of the urban perimeter cannot occur and irregular constructions must be prohibited and demolished if they do not comply with the archipelago's environmental standards.

The management of Fernando de Noronha became questionfiled with the STF after Jair Bolsonaro's government requested that the territory be declared a Union domain due to alleged non-compliance with the sharing agreement signed in 2002. The allegations have always been contested by the government of Pernambuco. Since 1988, the island has belonged to the state government.
