Environmental development has been a debate among academic and governmental actors. However, only recently has the theme gained importance due to the ambitious goals imposed by the green agreement of the EU. Instead, until recently, not much effort has been demonstrated towards a more sustainably globalized economy. This scenario seems to have gradually changeddue tonew sustainable values incorporated intodemands derived frommore environmentally conscious and globalized consumers, especially among those from developed economies. Apart from that, what already has Mercosuldone in this field still unclear. Hence, this study focuses on what might be posed as the most challenging measures adopted by the member of Mercosul to attend to these recent growths regarding environmentally sustainable globalized demands. The research was done through exploratory analysis using critical discussion and Bruce Bueno de Mesquita model – game Theory Analyses -methodology overtwo Brazilian parks and the actions adopted by governmental authorities to preserve their biodiversity. The results show several gaps in human resources and inthe infrastructure requiredto fully ensure biodiversity preservation, reflecting on difficulties regarding future EU's environmental requirements foran eventualbi-lateral free-trade agreement between thesetwo economic blocks.
