Brazilian Indigenous Leaders Meet with Dutch Politicians in The Hague
A delegation of eight Brazilian indigenous leaders and Greenpeace meet with Dutch politicians from Groenlinks, D66 and Partij voor de Dieren to discuss deforestation and human rights violations in Brazil. The eight indigenous leaders believe that it is up to Dutch politicians and companies to stop the massive destruction of nature for soy plantations, among other things, and the increase in violent incidents and death threats. The leaders from the Amazon, among others, are currently touring in Europe to engage in dialogue with politicians and the business community. As Europe's largest soy importer, the Netherlands has an important responsibility.

Brazilian Indigenous Leaders Meet with Dutch Politicians in The Hague
It is up to Dutch politicians and companies to come up with solutions against human rights violations and deforestation in Brazil.
That is the message of eight indigenous leaders from Brazil. The delegation and Greenpeace met today with politicians from Groenlinks, D66 and Partij voor de Dieren to discuss the increase in death threats, forest fires and the destruction of nature in their areas.
Agribusinesses are forcibly invading their land and destroying their forests for the establishment of large-scale soy plantations. In Brazil, the production of soy for cattle feed has quadrupled in the past two decades. As Europe's largest soy importer, the Netherlands has an important responsibility in stopping deforestation and human rights violations in Brazil.
