[NHCOLL-L:2050] FW: New Brazilian laws on specimen import/export

[Rich Rabeler]

I believe the information you are looking for can be found at the following web site:

http://www.mma.gov.br/port/cgen/index.cfm

Click on "Resolucoes" in the left column and then find Resolucao No. 1.  English text is available.

We were referred to this resolution via a letter from the Herbarium at the Jardin Botanico de Rio de Janeiro as containing the policies that the Brazlian Government had established for transport/import of herbarium specimens.

Sincerely,

Subject: [NHCOLL-L:2017] New Brazilian laws on specimen import/export


Does anyone have detailed knowledge of the new laws concerning the import and export of natural specimens from Brazil? I understand from various sources that they are going to make life difficult for the scientific community, but am having trouble finding out exactly what the implications are. Please post any replies to the list, for the benefit of other collections managers and museum folk.
