Indigenous People Launch Campaign To Kick Out 20,000 Gold Miners From Their Land

The Yanomami Indigenous people have launched a campaign to kick out thousands of gold miners from their land in the Brazilian Amazon. An estimated 10,000

An estimated 10,000 to 20,000 illegal gold miners have set up shop in Yanomami Park, one of Brazil’s biggest indigenous reserves, near to the border of Venezuela. Gold mining has continued to disturb the indigenous land since the 1980s, but now the Yanomami fear the outsiders are increasing the spread of Covid-19 among some of their communities.

In a statement given to IFLScience, Survival International has said that tribal leaders of the Yanomami and the National Human Rights Council have recently submitted a request to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to order the Brazilian government to expel the gold miners from Yanomami land. A tribunal has ruled that the Brazilian government’s indigenous agency FUNAI has to re-open its protection posts in the Yanomami territory.

However, it remains uncertain whether these steps will actually lead to meaningful government action.
