The Brazilian Senate is trying to push through a radical change to the country’s Constitution that would strip many #IndigenousPeoples of the right to their #AncestralLands.
In collaboration with #agribusiness and #mining interests, the Senate is rushing to nullify Indigenous land rights before going on vacation, bypassing normal congressional process and debate.
#Brazil 🇧🇷
The struggle for Indigenous rights in Brazil has reached a critical juncture as orchestrated attacks on their territorial claims intensify.
The Supreme Court’s ruling in late 2023 declaring the #MarcoTemporal (“Time Limit”) legal thesis unconstitutional was the result of over a decade of Indigenous struggle and marked a significant victory. However, #agribusiness and #mining interests have launched new offensives against #IndigenousRights.

These efforts, including a proposed amendment to #Brazil 's Constitution that would legalize Marco Temporal, threaten to undermine #IndigenousLandRights and accelerate environmental destruction in the #Amazon.
As Brazil stands at a crossroads, the international community’s support and vigilance are crucial in ensuring that Indigenous rights are upheld and the Amazon rainforest is preserved for future generations.
