The largest and most valuable lot included in a bill aimed at rescuing the Banco de Brasília (BRB) is situated within the Serrinha do Paranoá, a region recognized by environmentalists in the Federal District for its significance as a vital water reservoir. This area, between Varjão and Paranoá, is reported to house more than 100 mapped springs, indicating its ecological importance, which is currently under threat due to the proposed legislation. The governor of Brasília, Ibaneis Rocha, is expected to sanction the bill shortly, which has already sparked protests from various entities advocating for environmental preservation in the region. Activists and local organizations highlight the risks posed by the bill, advocating for further studies and conservation actions to protect this critical ecosystem before any urban development takes place. A study conducted by the Secretary of Agriculture of the Federal District found that one in five springs in the area requires immediate environmental recovery actions to counteract issues such as deforestation, erosion, littering, and water contamination. The total land involved encompasses multiple rural settlements, which raises concerns about the long-term sustainability of the region's water sources against anthropogenic pressures if this project proceeds in its current form.
