Collective demands measures and accountability after a councilor was questioned over the destruction of the Atlantic Forest on his property

Activists protest against TCE councilor over illegal deforestation

The collective 1 Milhão de Árvores is organizing a symbolic event to demand action against the State Court of Accounts (TCE) counselor, Durval Amaral. The counselor was summoned to provide explanations about the illegal deforestation of 54.6 hectares of Atlantic Forest at Fazenda Produtor, which he owns. The event will take place this Wednesday (11), at 5 p.m., in front of the TCE.

According to the organization, 54 trees will be planted on the banks of the Belém River, near the Court, in reference to the 54 hectares that Durval Amaral is accused of having deforested.

The movement is calling for the counselor to step down. In a public statement, the collective stated that “a citizen accused of a crime of that kind cannot be deciding the lives of millions of Paraná residents.”

In November 2025, the Londrina Municipal Environmental Council (Consemma) sent an official letter to the Paraná Public Prosecutor’s Office requesting information about the case of the illegal deforestation of 54.6 hectares.
