A megaproject by the Canadian mining company Brazil Potash overlaps with the traditional territory of the Mura indigenous people in Autazes, Amazonas.
“There are always company representatives at the site where the project will be built, preventing the indigenous people from moving about in their own territory.”
In addition to clearing the indigenous territory, the construction projects are already affecting the community’s food supply. The construction of an access road is causing a spring—a spawning ground for fish, which form the staple of the Mura people’s diet—to dry up. (1/2)
