The recent developments in Brazil regarding the approval of Bill 490/2007 have raised grave concerns for indigenous rights and the environment. WWF-Brazil strongly condemns the passing of this bill by the Chamber of Deputies and urges the Senate to take immediate action to prevent further harm to indigenous communities and the natural world.

Organizations from the Voices for Just Climate Action network (VCA), particularly the 'Youth Communicative Network' supported by WWF, successfully mobilized civil society and politicians to resist and advocate against social and environmental setbacks, with a specific focus on defending the Extractive Reserve (Resex) Chico Mendes. Their efforts led to the blocking of Bill 6024/2019, which aimed to reduce the territory of the Resex.
