The “Devastation Bill” (PL 2.159/2022) is a direct attack on Indigenous Peoples' rights and the #Amazon. It strips protections from lands not yet demarcated, leaving them open to exploitation. We urge President Lula to veto the bill. The world is watching. #VetoPL2159

🚨 Land Grabs & Forced Evictions In #Kenya, #Tanzania, #Uganda and the #DRC, Indigenous Peoples like the Ogiek, Sengwer, Maasai, Twa, Benet and Batwa are being evicted from their territories. Homes are burned. Sacred spaces destroyed. All without consent.
