In the last couple years, in coalition with Indigenous and allied organizations, Amazon Watch has grown its work in international advocacy and legal strategies to denounce the threat to the environment and Indigenous peoples posed by a set of bills in Brazil's Congress known as the “Destructive Package.”

One of these legislative attacks is known as the Marco Temporal or “Time Limit” legal thesis. It would change Brazil’s Indigenous land titling process, which could allow forcible contact with peoples in voluntary isolation and the advance of industrial activities in Indigenous territories.

Together we have called for action from the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and it recently released a statement condemning the bills for "exposing Indigenous Peoples to conflicts, mining-related contamination, escalating violence, and threats of their social and cultural rights.”
