Walkway that had been banned in the Carnival booth in Salvador is authorized to operate

A walkway at the Camarote Glamour in Salvador's Carnival has been authorized to operate after meeting environmental conditions set by the Federal Court.

A walkway that had previously been banned from use in the Camarote Glamour during the Carnival in Salvador has received authorization from the Federal Court to operate again. This decision came just two days before the Carnival festivities commence and follows a commitment by the Camarote Glamour to adhere to certain environmental measures. The initial ban was instated due to concerns raised by the Bahia Council of Architecture and Urbanism regarding the impact of the walkway on the surrounding environment.

The Federal Court's decision to lift the ban included stipulations that the Camarote Glamour must implement a Recovery Plan for Degraded Areas (PRAD). This plan will aim to improve the environmental conditions of the area by planting native tree species and restoring the ecosystem impacted by the Carnival event. Such measures are important for promoting sustainable practices during one of Brazil's most significant cultural festivities, emphasizing the need to balance celebration with environmental responsibility.

The Camarote Glamour has stated that there was no deforestation associated with the installation of the walkway, noting that the area had already been void of vegetation prior to the setup. The approval allows for the walkway's use during the Carnival, ensuring that part of the celebration can continue while also addressing environmental concerns raised by local authorities and advocates. This case highlights the ongoing struggle between urban development and environmental preservation in places known for large-scale events like the Carnival in Salvador.
