Burning area in the Jaci-Paraná Extractive Reserve, in Porto Velho, Rondônia state.
The Karipuna People, Greenpeace and CIMI (Indigenist Missionary Council) monitored the Karipuna Indigenous Land, in Rondônia state, in September 2021, registering a 44% increase in deforestation between August 2020 and July 2021. Along with deforestation, cattle raising and soya production have also been increasing in the state, putting pressure on local Indigenous People and threatening their lands. Inside the Karipuna Land, new deforestation spots, bridges and machinery are proof of constant invasion and land-grabbing in the region.
