Short answer, yes. Long answer would be mostly due to the environment minister not being the one nicknamed "Mr. Chainsaw", and instead is one of the most respected and accomplished environmentalists in the world.

I was going to ask if the appointments are based on the elected government/party for further elaboration, but thought that would be lazy so did a bit of research.

So yeah, she's Marina Silva. Lula's cabinet's minister of environment and climate change.

That's such a relief to hear, thanks for sharing.

I just glanced over her Wiki and am happy to see she's a person with a cause, rooted in civil rights and passion.
