Deforestation advances on Indigenous Lands impacted by Belo Monte Plant | Sirad X 21th Report

In just two months, September and October, 5.4 thousand hectares were deforested in the Cachoeira Seca, Apyterewa, Ituna Itatá, and Trincheira Bacajá Indigenous Lands, in Para State. Located in the area of influence of Belo Monte Hydroelectric plant, the four ILs are the most deforested in the Amazon.

The structuring of a territorial protection plan and land tenure regularization are conditions that should have preceded the construction of the plant, in 2011, and they have not materialized to date. Five years after the Operating License, indigenous people denounce an increase in invasions of their territories, aggravated by the spread of the #Covid19 pandemic.
