Because you pledged to stand with Brazil’s resistance, we are sending this urgent request for action as the Munduruku face additional threats to their territories. Thank you!
Last year, we revealed in our report, Complicity in Destruction III, how industrial mining has impacted Indigenous lands in the Brazilian Amazon and how large corporations such as Anglo American are complicit. The company says that has no intention to mine on Indigenous lands, yet it still has 13 open permits to prospect for copper within the Munduruku people's territory.
The Munduruku have made it abundantly clear that they want no mining in their territory, and they reaffirmed this at a gathering in December and a public letter to Anglo American.
Indigenous lands are protected by the Brazilian Constitution, and the Bolsonaro administration's attempts to greenlight mining and extraction violates it and Indigenous rights to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent.
Help us keep the Amazon's Indigenous territories free of mining!
