Be kind to the Amazon
The initiative Be kind to the Amazon (Portuguese Seja Legal com a Amazônia) was developed by representatives of agribusiness, environmentalists and international organizations. It consists of an online form, whereby citizens can send an email directly to the brazilian Vice-president, to the Minister of Justice and to the Attorney General of the Federal Public Prosecution Service demanding greater investments in operations against organized crime in the Amazon. The goal is to influence the government, in order to support measures against land grabbing, deforestation in public forests, theft and destruction of Brazil's natural heritage.

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
