Brazil's government has sent Congress a bill to shrink the size of a national forest in the Amazonian state of Par'e1, according to a statement from the Environment Ministry on Friday, a move environmentalists said would speed deforestation of the area. The government proposed the bill as a comprise measure after local residents, who see the Jamanxim national forest as a source of livelihood, blocked a key highway in response to President Michel Temer's veto of similar legislation to reduce its protected area.
