Abstract

The Brazilian Senate is debating a proposed law to reopen the Colono road crossing Iguaçu Falls National Park (I).
This road was closed 20 years ago because it violated reserve management rules (2).
National parks ensure full environmental protection with no human interference
(3). Reopening the road would undermine the park's purpose of conserving the last remnant native vegetation in the southwestern Atlantic Forest (2). To circumvent this, the proposal suggests the creation of a protected area within the park that has fewer conservation requirements and would allow road construction. Changing the law on these terms would serve as a concerning precedent for other reserves in this megadiverse country.
