The issue of the BR-319 highway and its impact on Indigenous communities has been a topic of concern, as detailed in the article “BR-319: Narratives, Business and Power” published by Revista Cenarium in February. The article sheds light on the deceptive tactics used by the NGO Instituto Internacional de Educação do Brasil (IEB) to push through the reconstruction of the highway without proper consultation with the Indigenous community. This manipulation and lack of transparency have raised significant alarm among Indigenous leaders, who have voiced their opposition to the project.

During a journey along the BR-319 highway in 2020, journalist Ferrante interviewed Indigenous people and leaders affected by the road. One Indigenous leader from Lake Capanã expressed his strong reservations about the highway’s impact on their village, highlighting concerns about environmental degradation, land grabbing, and the influx of criminal activities that the highway could bring. The expansion of the BR-319 corridor has also led to the rapid growth of agribusiness in the region, with soybean farmers encroaching on Indigenous and traditional lands through illegal means.

The article also delves into the critical issue of the Soy Moratorium, an agreement established in 2006 to curb deforestation in the Amazon. However, recent developments, such as the enactment of Bill 12.709/2024 in Mato Grosso and the potential withdrawal of major companies like Cargill from the agreement, pose a significant threat to environmental conservation efforts. The agriculture minister’s efforts to undermine the Soy Moratorium raise concerns about the future of the Amazon and the rights of Indigenous communities.

As debates around the Soy Moratorium intensify, the author emphasizes the importance of prioritizing sustainability, Indigenous rights, and environmental protection in policy discussions. With the upcoming COP30 summit, the need to safeguard the Amazon and its ecosystems has never been more pressing. The decisions made at this summit will have far-reaching implications for the preservation of the Amazon and the well-being of its Indigenous inhabitants.

In a country where agribusiness interests often take precedence over environmental and Indigenous concerns, the author calls for a reevaluation of priorities and a shift towards more sustainable practices. The future of the Amazon and its people hangs in the balance, and it is essential to ensure that decisions made today do not irreversibly harm the environment and the communities that depend on it.

Monica Piccinini, a dedicated writer focusing on environmental and human rights issues, underscores the urgency of addressing the challenges posed by projects like the BR-319 highway and the potential dismantling of the Soy Moratorium. By raising awareness and advocating for sustainable practices, we can work towards a future where the Amazon and its Indigenous communities thrive in harmony with nature.
