During the months of August and September 2019, a study was conducted to evaluate the environmental impacts resulting from the disorderly expansion of the City of Godneighborhood, in the city of Manaus - AM.

In addition, field analyses were carried out around the AdolphoDucke Forest Reserve/Amazon Museum - MUSA to identify solid waste dumped in the forest fragment area.
