On 22.02.2012 day the lawyer Roberto Del Manto gave a lecture on “Constitutional Foundations and Criminal Trusteeship in Brazilian environmental law” at the invitation of its President, Dr. Pedro Luiz Napolitano. At that time they discussed the constitutional traits present in Brazilian Magna Carta, even granted to all other natural elements that compose it, within what provided for in Article 225 “caption”. Called “Citizen Constitution” by most jurists Brazilians, it can also be called the “Green Constitution” since it historically was the first Constitution worldwide, which granted “status” constitutional to the environment, including defining behaviors as crimes, within the current economic outlook.
