CHAPTER I OF THE INSTITUTION, DEFINITION AND OBJECTIVES Article 1 - The Municipal Council for the Environment is hereby created within the Department of Agriculture, Supply and Environment, as a consultative and deliberative body on matters relating to the preservation, conservation and defense of the Atlantic Forest and its wildlife; the protection of water resources and the improvement of environmental quality; the fight against pollution in any of its forms; the ordering and control of land use and undertakings or activities with potentially negative effects on the environment, the comfort or safety of the population throughout the territory of the Municipality of Paraibuna, regulated by this Law.

 

 

In 2018, the city of Paraibuna became a MIT (Municipality of Tourist Interest) and in 2021 a Tourist Resort. Due to its rustic characteristics, its people, culture, and natural beauty, such as forests, rivers, and reservoirs, the region is, in fact, a heritage to be preserved, thus conserving its intrinsic characteristics in light of its rural tourism potential.

COMTUR has been doing important work in the tourism history of the Paraíba Valley, uniting and integrating services and products with the local population in order to live up to its status as a Tourist Resort.

It holds monthly meetings, cooperating with the organization of events and outlining guidelines for the future of tourism in the city of Paraibuna. Its president in 2024 is Sandra Claro, and it supports companies, institutions, and individuals in their projects focused on the tourism development of the region.

The Municipal Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescents (CMDCA) is an agency linked to the Department of Social Assistance of the Tourist Resort of Paraibuna.

The purpose of the Guardianship Councils is to monitor all programs and projects aimed at serving children and adolescents, especially regarding the right to life, health, freedom, respect, dignity, community life, family, education, professional training, culture, leisure, protection at work, and suggesting protective measures in situations of risk.

​The Municipal Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescents (CMDCA) is responsible for managing the Municipal Fund for the Rights of Children and Adolescents (FUMDICAD), allocating funds to governmental and non-governmental organizations, with the aim of meeting the needs of the child and adolescent care policy in our city.
