The controversial #Ferrogrão mega-railway has remained halted by an injunction for two years. But now the disastrous infrastructure project proposed to slice through the Brazilian #Amazon is a renewed threat.
On May 31, a Supreme Court judge lifted the injunction to allow studies and administrative processes to resume. The railway is regarded as one of the most anti-environmental projects being considered by #LuladeSilva ’s government and has even been dubbed the “new Belo Monte.”
