At the opening session, the dean of the Federal University of Acre thanked IBGE for taking the release to a university in the Amazon and stressed that "what the IBGE presents today will help public policies to be drawn to traditional peoples and communities indeed."
In his speech, the director of Surveys, Gustavo Junger, stressed the large number of people involved in an operation such as the Census and the difficulties of the data collection, thanking the team of the Superintendence of Acre, on behalf of all other superintendencies. Junger also thanked the partners who supported the 2022 Census data collection in the Conservation Units, the Ministry of Environment and the Chico Mendes Institute, as well as municipal and state offices: "It is a pride to be present with our teams here, none of this would be possible without our fellow public officers who are at the field, working to collect information."
The president of the Court of Audit of the State of Acre, Dulcinéa Araújo, reiterated that the unprecedented dissemination of the IBGE is an important moment: “the 2022 Census is not only a portrait of the citizenship, but it is essential for the rulers who want to plan public policies, it is extraordinary data for the societies of the most different segments that use them to claim their civil rights."
"The management of the information on the territory has increasingly revealed the fundamental element of the management of the Conservation Units. Management is not done without sound, official, reliable, systematized, organized and accessible information. This is a great achievement, a great conquest, a big step,” said Cibele Ferreira, representative of the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio).
Representing the extractive communities, the president of the National Council of Extractive Communities, Júlio Barbosa, pointed out: “This moment, for us, has a very important symbolism. We at the CNS are very happy and gratified because we have been invited to this moment."
