Lula Announces Brazil Will Recognize Two More Indigenous Territories

HeadlineSep 06, 2023

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has officially recognized two Indigenous territories in an attempt to protect the land from illegal loggers, miners and cattle ranchers. Lula spoke Tuesday at a ceremony to mark Amazon Day.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva: “The Amazonian people deserve to have their rights guaranteed and opportunities for a better life. If there is no future for the Amazon and its people, there will be no future for the planet either. That is what today’s event is about: concrete actions to guarantee the future of the Amazon and each of us.”
