This contract represents a critical environmental milestone that advances the Autazes Potash Project toward construction, following the February 2025 approval for vegetation suppression activities.
The agreement covers comprehensive fauna management activities required prior to vegetation modification in designated project areas, in full compliance with environmental authorisations granted by the Amazonas Environmental Protection Institute (IPAAM). Specialised teams will identify, collect, and safely relocate native wildlife to suitable habitats, ensuring biodiversity conservation throughout the construction process.
“This contract marks another significant step forward in our responsible development of the Autazes Project,” said Adriano Espeschit, President of Potássio do Brasil. “Ecology Suporte has extensive experience serving both public and private sector clients across the Amazon region, and we are confident they will ensure these critical activities are conducted with the highest standards of care and compliance.”
The initial phase will focus on fauna management in priority areas including the mine, road, and port sections, followed by work in other project areas including the processing plant. All activities will be conducted according to detailed service orders aligned with Brazil Potash's comprehensive environmental management programme.
