The Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Portuguese: Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis, IBAMA) is the Brazilian Ministry of the Environment's administrative arm.

Brazil's current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva made ambitious pledges on deforestation.

[6] IBAMA is central to these plans as it often acts as an enforcement agency against illegal deforestation in Brazil.

[8] However, over 1,500 workers within Brazil's federal anti-deforestation agencies IBAMA and ICMbio demanded better pay and working conditions from President Lula in a letter in December 2023.

[12] Nine hundred Ibama and ICMBio employees signed a letter protesting the working conditions in 2021 under pressure to reduce the backlog and facing penalties if they failed to do so.

[13] Among IBAMA's diverse environmental and natural resources activities, it manages The Working Group for the Recovery of the Spix's macaw and the associated Ararinha Azul project for conserving one of the rarest birds in the world.

However the last Spix's macaw living in the wilderness disappeared in 2000 and the species became extinct in the wild.
