It's a contrast to his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro, who encouraged development of the Amazon — legal and illegal — and didn't add areas designated as Indigenous lands.

    I highly recommend watching The Territory: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16378164/

    Its a documentary following one of these indigenous tribes and the shit they have to go through in keeping their autonomy. Like its one thing for the government to say a certain land is theirs, but what are they supposed to do if a logging company starts cutting down their trees and the local law enforcement doesn’t care?
