In Brazil is there a right to life in place for animals, plants, etc.?

Revised Brazilian forest code may lead to increased legal deforestation in Amazon. Researchers show that up to 15 million hectares of forest risk losing protection owing to a new clause in the law under which state governments can let private landowners protect only 50 percent of their property, down from 80 percent previously, if over 65 percent of the state is protected by conservation units or indigenous reservations.
