WHAT 👏 A 👏 WIN 👏
✊ Indigenous mobilisation STOPPED Amazon rivers from being turned into industrial highways for agribusiness.
A Brazilian decree that would have opened the door to dredging on the Madeira, Tapajós and Tocantins rivers has just been revoked 🚫
No river engineering. No export super-corridors. No sacrifice zones for corporate profit ‼️ This victory was marked by an Indigenous encampment at a port terminal operated by Cargill on the Tapajós River. Communities stood their ground. And it worked ✊
When Indigenous Peoples defend their rivers, they defend:
🌍 the climate
🦜 biodiversity
💧 the principle that land and water are not for sale
Share this. Make it loud 📣
