The Renova Foundation regrets to announce the death of Rômulo José Fernandes Barreto Mello, president of the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio), this Monday (10), and expresses its condolences to his family, friends and colleagues at the Institute and in the field of Sustainability.
Graduated in Agronomy, Rômulo held, from early on, a range of positions in the environmental field of the Federal Government. His arrival at ICMBio, in 2007, was marked by important development, like the set-up of the Institute, the extension of public servants, the strategic institutional planning process and the creation of 12 conservancies.
