‘A landmark’: Brazil’s prosecutors hail court ruling to preserve Fordlandia
Brazil's federal prosecutors have hailed a court ruling that mandates the preservation of Fordlandia, a historic site established by Henry Ford in the 1920s. The decision comes after decades of advocacy for the site, which has suffered from neglect and decay. Prosecutors emphasized the site's historical significance and the need for collaborative efforts to protect it from further deterioration.

- ▪Fordlandia was built in 1928 as part of Henry Ford's attempt to control the rubber market.
- ▪The site has faced decades of neglect, leading to its advanced state of decay.
