Canadian mining company Belo Sun continues to threaten life in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, and our campaign to halt the proposed largest open-pit gold mine in Brazil is in full swing.

Over the past few months, our team has told the world about the reality of the negative impacts of this disastrous mining project on the affected territory and the people who live there, to counter Belo Sun’s false narrative.

Communities near the planned mine still lack information about the project, and Earth defenders face intensified surveillance by the mining company. The influx of workers to the region is disrupting the lives and livelihoods of the local population.

As part of an intense campaign of accompaniment, advocacy, communications, and interventions in multiple agencies at all levels of government, our team and allies are demanding that the national government publicly affirm and fulfill the promises it has made over the last few months.
