With allies in power, including Environmental Minister Marina Silva and Indigenous Peoples' Minister Sonia Guajajara, what opportunities are now available to halt mining in the Amazon?

In our most recent successful campaigning and in-person and online actions for the Belo Sun Out campaign during the COP15 Biodiversity Conference, we gained many strategic allies in the Canadian press, government, and civil society.

Now in 2023, with a newly elected government in Brazil, we have renewed hope and see a horizon of possibilities while remaining vigilant and prepared for the strategic maneuvers of the mining sector. The industry intends to advance into the Amazon rainforest, regardless of which government is in power.

We must continue our efforts against mining in the Amazon, starting with getting Belo Sun Out of the Amazon, especially now that we have Canadian allies!
