A RESOLUTIVE AND SELF-COMPOSITIVE AGENDA FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONFLICTS FOCUSING ON STRAY ANIMALS IN EVACUATED NEIGHBORHOODS AFFECTED BY LAND SUBSIDENCE IN MACEIÓ, ALAGOAS

Abstract

This article analyzes the case of stray animals abandoned in areas impacted by mining activities conducted by BRASKEM, with a focus on the extrajudicial approach adopted to address the problem. Initially, it outlines a general overview of the situation, highlighting the background of the procedure initiated by the Public Prosecutor’s Office. It then details the methods of self-composition, mediation, and negotiation applied, grounded in the Civil Code and CNMP Resolution No. 118, which enabled the avoidance of judicialization. The Resolutive Agenda: BRASKEM Animals demonstrated the effectiveness of extrajudicial self-compositive solutions for complex conflicts, particularly in contexts marked by the absence of adequate public policies for animal protection and the management of stray animals. The initiative stood out for its pioneering nature and for pursuing progressive and durable solutions to animal abandonment, aligned with the constitutional commitment of the Public Prosecutor’s Office to safeguard fundamental rights. The article thus highlights the relevance of self-composition mechanisms, emphasizing CNMP Resolution No. 118/2014, which fosters a culture of participation and dialogue in conflict resolution, as well as the outcomes achieved over five years of implementation. This case represents a milestone in the development of sustainable and effective practices for addressing complex social challenges.
