The 10th Pan-Amazon Social Forum (X FOSPA) took place in Belém, Pará, in Brazil at the end of July. The meeting brought together traditional peoples and communities from the countryside, the cities, and the Amazon rainforest.

People from all nine countries of the Amazon region attended, and Amazon Watch was there to participate and support our Indigenous partners.

The forum strongly condemned the so-called development paradigm, in which governments and large corporations are complicit in destruction with projects that privatize profits and socialize losses over Amazonian peoples and territories.

Violence against community leaders, insufficient demarcation of Indigenous territories, support for illegal extractivism, and other violations of rights continue throughout the Amazon rainforest. FOSPA served as a geopolitical space where discussion priorities were set by the very peoples affected by these policies, guided by the initiatives and historical resistance of traditional peoples and communities.
