Illegal mining footprint swells nearly 500% inside Brazil Indigenous territories

  • Illegal mining inside Indigenous territories and conservation units in Brazil increased in area by 495% and 301% respectively between 2010 and 2020, a new report shows.
  • The worst-affected Indigenous territories were the Kayapó, Munduruku and Yanomami reserves, with a combined area of nearly 10,000 hectares (25,000 acres) occupied by illegal miners.
  • The trend is driven by the increase in international prices of gold, tin and manganese — the metals typically mined inside the reserves — as well as lax enforcement and lack of economic alternatives.
  • While mining inside Indigenous territories and conservation units is banned under Brazil’s Constitution, the current government is pushing for legislation that would allow it.

Neste mês, os Yanomami comemoram os 30 anos da demarcação de seu território, um marco na luta pelos direitos dos povos indígenas. Suas terras são protegidas em teoria, mas não de fato…O presidente brasileiro Bolsonaro apoia garimpeiros ilegais e incentiva indústrias extrativistas em terras indígenas. Ele e seu governo são cúmplices do massacre e da […]
