  Dear UIS Delegates,
 
On behalf of the UIS Bureau, we would appreciate you to support the important
request of Brazil, one of the UIS Membre Countries.
 
As you may know, the Brazilian Government has just published a decree which
will facilitate the destruction of their caves.
Thus, they are asking the international speleological community to support
them in their struggle to get the revocation of this terrible decree.
On reading the attached letter, please, you will better understand the
situation, and will know how to help them.
The suggested text for your letter of support and the list of Brazilian
government officials to be sent are reproduced below to make your work easier.
That way, if convenient for you, you can just copy and paste the list into the
"To" field in your message.
If you prefer, you can make your own text, of course.
Please, include a copy to: ,
 , .
 
Thanks in advance for your kind and important cooperation.
  Fadi Nader
UIS, Secretary General

TEXT SUGGESTION FOR YOUR SUPPORT LETTER:
Dear Brazilian government officials,
After becoming aware of the publication of the Presidential Decree N. o
10,935, dated January 12, 2022, we hereby want to join the Brazilian
Speleological Society (SBE) and the whole speleological and environmental
community to demonstrate our deep concern for the future of the Brazilian
caves. Such decree represents a setback in the Brazilian protectionist
legislation, which once was a model shining to the world.
As long as this decree is valid, all Brazilian speleological Heritage, as well
as all biological, archaeological, mineralogical, paleontological,
geomorphological, scientific, cultural, and historic heritages in the
Brazilian karst (cave) regions will be in danger because this decree is a tool
with high potential to destroy them. We recognize that good enterprises are
necessary and important for the economic development and generation of jobs in
any region or country.
However, when commercial interests prevail over the well-being of the
population and such enterprises are located in areas of priceless natural and
cultural heritage, good legislation is necessary to avoid their destruction
and to stimulate sustainable development. Therefore, with all due respect and
consideration for the Brazilian authorities, we hereby declare our repudiation
and total disapproval of Decree N. o 10.935, which we do expect to be revoked.
Brazilian Speleological Society must be invited to help in the elaboration of
a new law for the protection of caves and karst because they have the most
competent Brazilian experts in this field with a very high international
reputation. It is demonstrated by the fact that in 2025 Brazil will host the
19 th International Congress of Speleology, which is the most important
speleological event in the world, where participants from more than fifty
countries will land in Brazil to share the state of the art of speleology, as
well as to discuss the protection of caves and karst.
We will be there, for sure, and hope to meet a Brazilian law that takes into
account sustainable development, focusing on preservation, not on destruction.
Sincerely,
