Munduruku and Greenpeace Demarcate Indigenous Lands in the Amazon

The Munduruku people have inhabited the Sawré Muybu in the heart of the Amazon, for generations. The Brazilian government plans to build a series of dams in the Tapajos River basin, which would severely threaten their way of life. The Munduruku demand the demarcation of their territory which would ensure protection from such projects. In addition to preserving their way of life, the demarcation of Sawré Muybu ensures the conservation of 178,000 hectares of Amazonian rainforest.

O povo Munduruku habita a Terra Indígena Sawré Muybu, no coração da Amazônia, há gerações. Mas seu modo de vida esta ameaçado pelos planos do governo brasileiro de construir um complexo de barragens na bacia do Rio Tapajos. Os Munduruku exigem a demarcação de seu território. Além de garantir o modo de vida deste povo, a demarcação de Sawré Muybu garante a conservação de 178 mil hectares de floresta amazônica.
