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.
Some tribal leaders, such as the chief and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Raoni Metuktire, for example, continuously travel across Europe trying to defend their territories from the exploitation promoted by the government.

Amazon wants to use the World Cup to sell more than on Black Friday in Brazil, with a 7-day Prime Day, 9,000 temporary positions, 300 logistics hubs, free shipping, and a distribution center capable of processing 10,000 packages per hour.
President Bolsonaro sees these campaigns as threats to national sovereignty and claims that these movements are attempts by other countries to seize territory, which he says aims to “appropriate” the Amazon not only for oil but for the abundance of energy resources found there.
