Brazil’s government says it is working with Peru to protect border Indigenous lands
Brazil's Ministry of Indigenous Peoples signed a memorandum of understanding with Peru's Ministry of Culture to protect Indigenous territories along their border, focusing on isolated peoples.
The agreement, negotiated since 2024, will be published soon and aims to share information and coordinate protection efforts.
Earlier in the month, five armed men with machine guns invaded Indigenous land, threatened families, and searched for leaders.
The ministry stated that protecting Indigenous lands requires coordinated responses to threats like invasions and illegal activities, and mentioned a federal police investigation into the attacks.
