A tribute to Federal Congressman Rodrigo Rollemberg

"The Brazilian Cerrado's Art" is a independent blog. However I would like to pay tribute to a supporter of Cerrado Biome: the Federal Congressman Rodrigo Rollemberg!


In this photo he appears surrounded by Kraô indigenous tribe children. The Indians Kraôs living in the Brazilian Cerrado with 16 villages of varying sizes, totaling a population of approximately 2,000 individuals.


In this another photo he appears painted and smiling after being baptized by Indians Kraô!

Some of the actions performed by the Federal Congressman Rodrigo Rollember for the Cerrado biome protection can be seen on the links below, in Portuguese!

After 14 years of silence, Congress can analyze that makes the Cerrado and the Brazilian national heritage sites in the Constitution!

During the seminar which discussed the sustainable development of "Bacia do Alto de Tocantins", Rollemberg asked for approval of proposition which enshrines the Cerrado as national heritage sites in the Constitution!

Rollemberg either approve the PEC of Cerrado!

In an interview to program "Palavra Aberta - 09/16/2008", Rollemberg explains the importance of adopting the proposed amendment to the Constitution (PEC) 115/95 which makes the Brazilian Cerrado a national heritage. If the level of devastation not decrease, the Cerrado may no longer exist in only 40 years.

Rollemberg participates in demonstration by preserving the Cerrado. In the National day of Cerrado, non-governmental organizations have made a protest by asking a approval of the SGP 115/95 includes the Cerrado and caatinga as national heritages.
