Greenpeace International Executive Director Bunny McDiarmid and Greenpeace Brazil Executive Director Asensio Rodriguez join several Munduruku caciques (chiefs) in the unofficial demarcation of their territory along the Tapajós River.
The Munduruku people have inhabited the Sawré Muybu Indigenous territory in the heart of the Amazon, for generations. The Brazilian government plans to build a series of dams in the Tapajós 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 Amazon rainforest.
