President Jair Bolsonaro’s Project Seeks to Authorize Exploration of Indigenous Lands – Oil, Gas, Minerals, Hydroelectric Power, and Livestock, for Example, Are Among the Items to Be Approved by Congress
Oil exploration in Brazil may reach unconventional regions under the Bolsonaro administration alongside the mining sector; the opening of indigenous reserves to these economic activities was already on the Federal Government’s radar. These regions are rich in natural resources such as oil, gold, copper, nickel, and iron ore. The government’s goal is to bring economic development to these areas through exploration, creating jobs and boosting the economy.

The project is controversial and has received criticism both in Brazil and abroad, as indigenous populations may be consulted but will not have veto power. The future of their lands will not depend on them. However, Minister of Mines and Energy Bento Albuquerque assures that many leaders of indigenous communities have asked the Bolsonaro government to allow mining on their lands.
