Far-right gains in Brazil's Congress alarm Indigenous and environmental groups

Original: Indigenous, environmental groups warn far-right gains in Brazil’s Congress threaten protections

Indigenous and environmental organizations in Brazil are warning that far-right gains in the newly seated Congress could roll back protections for the Amazon and Indigenous lands. The groups fear a stronger right-wing bloc will push legislation opening protected territories to mining and agriculture and weaken enforcement of environmental laws, prompting concern from advocates and widespread coverage across international media.

Why now: The composition of Brazil's new Congress raises fears that environmental and Indigenous land protections will be weakened.
