Brazil's Minister of Justice has signed the
decree which officially recognizes the boundaries of the
Kawahiva's territory! This is an incredible victory, and it
wouldn't have happened without you.
Thousands
of you sent emails to to the Minister of Justice
urging him to take action for the uncontacted
tribe. And, crucially, your donations enabled us to
back this up with months of focused
campaigning.
Now, thanks to the global
movement for tribal peoples' rights – thousands of
supporters in Brazil and around the world – the biggest
hurdle to protecting the Kawahiva's land has been
overcome.
Thank you for giving the
Kawahiva a chance to determine their own
future. Indigenous territories are the greatest
barrier to Amazon deforestation, so a victory for the
Kawahiva is a victory for all humanity.
What
next? Our fight for the Kawahiva's survival is
not over: Over the coming months and years we'll need to
keep up the pressure to ensure Brazil prevents
invaders from entering the tribe's newly-recognized
territory.
Thank you for standing with us.
