After months of pressure, British mining company Anglo American finally responded to the demands of Indigenous peoples and withdrew 27 mining research permits overlapping Indigenous lands in Brazil!

These permits were a major threat to Indigenous peoples, as well as their territories and livelihoods. It's been six months since we first told Anglo American to stay out of Munduruku territory and refrain from mining in Indigenous lands altogether. This victory resulted from our sustained campaign with the Association of Brazil's Indigenous Peoples.

Now, we need to make sure that the company's words are converted into action. The Bolsonaro administration has made opening up Indigenous land for mining and extractive industries a political priority, and mining is one of the most significant and growing threats against Indigenous peoples and their lands.
