Brazil creates new Indigenous territories after COP30 protests

Brazil creates 10 new Indigenous territories in response to COP30 protests, expanding protection for areas like the Amazon. These measures follow President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's recognition of Indigenous possession of 11 territories last year to safeguard culture and environment under Brazilian law. The move aims to prevent deforestation, reduce carbon emissions, and address climate change concerns, with Indigenous groups like Mura, Tupinambá de Olivença, and Pataxó benefiting from the protected lands. This action coincides with global efforts at COP30 to limit temperature rises and underscores the importance of preserving forests to combat climate change.
