Observatory of the Brazilian Forest Code
The Forest Code Observatory was created by a network of civil society organizations, some of them with international presence. The Observatory monitors, on the one hand, the implementation of the Forest Code at the national and state level, and on the other hand, proposals to modify the law. By doing so, it seeks to ensure that the law's positive aspects for environmental conservation are implemented, and to avoid new regulations that would entail setbacks in this area.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
