The article seeks to demonstrate how the modernity project sustains the process of exploiting natural resources in Brazil, contextualizing and critically analyzing the case of changes in legal framework for wood export made by IBAMA in 2020. Based on decolonial perspectives, the modernization project, that marks its beginning in the century. XV and involves multiple processes that, among other elements, are based on colonialism, is thought. Modernity and coloniality are legitimized by blatantly unconstitutional legal elements, which by political will privilege the private sector whose interests are profit through the exploitation of natural resources existing in the Legal Amazon. The research uses an inductive method and the procedure is the documentary investigation of the environmental legal framework pertinent to the case. As an extra-normative critical theoretical contribution, a bibliographic review from a decolonial perspective offers elements for the analysis of the epistemological substrates that support the government's orientations and positions.
