%X The research investigates the existence of a strong ˇ°anti-environmental movementˇ± inside the Brazilian Congress, the nature of the protagonists and recipients of the movement, as well as analyzes their strategies and their degree of dangerousness. Since the House of Representatives ˇ°is composed of representatives of the peopleˇ± and the Senate ˇ°is composed of representatives of states and the Federal Districtˇ±, it means that this movement finds support in significant portions of the population and that their strategies have obtained results. The study was conducted through data collection from campaign financing from the related parliamentary members of committees on the environment and their positions manifested in the media. We observed that in the parliamentary election campaigns many companies involved in agribusiness and responding to environmental and labor processes acted as donors. It was also possible to verify the inequality of power between the ˇ°anti-ecologicalˇ± group and the environmental group.
