This paper aims to analyze the correlations between the current pandemic outbreak of Covid-19 and the process of environmental degradation that has been intensifying more and more throughout this period. The main methodological coordination applied in this research consisted of a bibliographic review, contextualized by the reading and analysis of journalistic material. This research seeks to question, especially in relation to the Brazilian context, how the global pandemic and the collapse in the environment are intrinsic processes when situated in a broader context of capitalism's offensive. The proposal is to articulate the socio-historical configurations between these phenomena to the production model in force. A central issue to be attacked is the way the economy has been given, demanding a new reorganization, extinguishing predatory actions and their process of unlimited expansion as if nature were infinitely exploited in an unbridled manner by capital-intensive.
