Rousseff
did
reject
12
of
the
84
articles
in
the
proposed
legislation,
but
environmentalists
had
asked
for
all
84
to
be
vetoed.
The
WWF
says
the
new,

laws
will

difficult
to
implement”

send
“a
murky
message
about
Brazil’s
commitment
to
environmental
protection”.
“President
Rousseff

created]
an
uncertain
future
for
Brazilian
forests,
considering
Congress
could
still
cut
forest
protections
even
further,”
says
WWF
International
director-
general
Jim
Leape.
