Even as the Brazilian federal government considers a bill that would effectively legalize goldmining and other extractive industries in Indigenous territories across Brazil, the Kayapo Indigenous people have continued to safeguard 23 million acres of their rainforest and savanna territory in the southeastern region of the Brazilian Amazon.
