What’s happening?
The Karipuna Indigenous Peoples have been fighting to protect their land for generations. Even though their territory is officially recognized by the Brazilian government, that doesn’t stop land-grabbers from invading their land for logging and cattle farming. So the Karipuna have taken the matters into their own hands. From speaking at the UN to working together with organisations to monitor and highlight deforestation in their land, the Karipuna have been sounding the alarm on the attacks they are suffering and the lack of support the Brazilian government is providing to them and to other Indigenous People. Now, the Karipuna People are taking the Brazilian state to court for allowing illegally private land plots to be registered inside their protected land.
