For years, our research has exposed and demanded accountability from the northern actors complicit in the ongoing destruction and Indigenous rights violations in the Amazon. Today, alongside the Association of Brazil’s Indigenous Peoples, we launched Complicity in Destruction IV, a new report that shows that international financiers poured billions into the most destructive companies in the Brazilian Amazon.
We focus on mining in this fourth edition because of its escalating threat to Indigenous communities under the the Bolsonaro administration. APIB and Amazon Watch began mapping the interests of large mining companies overlapping Indigenous lands in 2020, and our research shows that U.S.-based corporations remain some of the main financiers complicit in this destruction.
“There must be a general understanding that Indigenous lands, traditional territories, and protected areas in the Amazon are not available for mineral exploration, nor should they be, both because there must be respect for our constitutional right to self-determination and because of our lands’ importance in combating climate change and guaranteeing life on the planet,” says Dinamam Tuxá of APIB.
