Indigenous resistance continues in Santarém, Pará, Brazil, as communities defend the #Tapajós river. An indefinite blockade of Cargill is holding the line against river privatization and destructive dredging. #SalveOTapajós #NãoAoDecreto1260 amazonwatch.org/news/2026/02...

UPDATE from the #Tapajós mobilization🚨The blockade at the Cargill port continues. Indigenous peoples’ demands remain clear and unmet: cancel dredging and immediately revoke Decree 12,600/2025, which paves the way for river privatization under the Lula administration.

We launched a NEW action with our allies at @ran.org: Chevron has left a trail of devastation, including oil spills, climate catastrophes, and toxic pollution. It's time to hold Chevron accountable and prevent them from doing even more harm! #TakeAction actionnetwork.org/letters/hold...

Chevron's extraction in Venezuela is bad for the entire planet, and even more so for communities in Mississippi. "But in Pascagoula, Miss., home to one of Chevron’s largest refineries, some residents worry that this could lead to more pollution." www.nytimes.com/video/climat...

DITTO!!!

Protesters will remain until Lula revokes the decree. They chose Cargill, one of the world’s largest agricultural commodity traders, because they say it symbolizes predatory agribusiness & pressures the govt to back projects that threaten the rainforest. @apnews.com apnews.com/article/braz...

Indigenous ppl from 14 ethnic groups have been occupying the facilities of the Cargill company in Santarém since Fri in protest of a dredging tender and initiatives that, according to the movement, pave the way for the "privatization of the Tapajós River". g1.globo.com/pa/para/noti...

As a coalition, Protect the Protest demands systems that prioritize life over punishment, compassion over cruelty, and justice over silence. An attack on one of us is an attack on us all. We won’t let state violence paralyze us or this movement. We rise and we are stronger together.

Indigenous knowledge and governance systems are among the most effective barriers against deforestation, violence, and extractive expansion. Protecting the Amazon depends on the full recognition and guarantee of Indigenous rights, autonomy, and self-determination. amazonwatch.org/news/2026/01...
