Sad day: Amid recent pressure for oil exploration, the Brazilian government announced the auction of 68 blocks in the Legal Amazon—47 in the Foz do Amazonas. The Foz do Amazonas is the region where the Amazon River meets the Atlantic Ocean, on the coast of the Brazilian Amazon (Pará and Amapá).

Governo anuncia leilão para mais 47 blocos de petróleo na Foz do Amazonas
Ao todo, são 68 blocos incluídos na oferta na Amazônia Legal. Além dos 47 na Foz do Amazonas, onde o governo defende o licenciamento do bloco 59, há outros 21 blocos em terra disponibilizados para as petroleiras, cercando terras indígenas e unidades de conservação.
