Dear Bilateral Partners, Good Night!
Go over to knowledge, the Declaration of violation of Indigenous rights in Brazil.
This declaration was presented at the UN to take science and providence by the Brazilian government in relation to non-compliance with laws, providing guarantees to Indigenous tribes in Brazil.
DECLARATION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF BRAZIL
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN BRAZIL
Dear Mr. President
305 represent the indigenous peoples of Brazil, which are organized in the call Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB). We saw here expose our pain about our rights being violated by our governments, rights that are guaranteed by our Constitution.
The Brazil, instead of guaranteeing the realization of the rights of indigenous peoples has increasingly shown signs to the contrary: many initiatives are underway in different areas of the State, aimed to suppress the rights of indigenous peoples.
Even with the new paradigms established by the Constitution of 1988 and international treaties signed by the country, the social diversity composed of 305 different indigenous peoples, speaking 274 languages, and the land necessary for the physical and cultural reproduction of these people are today seriously threatened. Initiatives and policy decisions, administrative, legal and legislative taken by the State seeking more flexible environmental legislation and indigenous and regress or suppress the rights in favor of the exploitation of natural resources and the implementation of large projects with high social and environmental impact such as extensive farming , mining, hydroelectric plants, highways, ports, waterways, transmission lines, nuclear power plants and expansion of municipalities, among others.
The executive branch continues with the policy decision to stop the demarcation of indigenous lands procedures and adopting administrative and legal measures to confront the territorial rights as Ordinance No. 303/2012. Under the Judiciary, concerns the annulment of declaratory rulings of lands traditionally occupied by indigenous peoples. And in Congress representing special interest groups insist on the conduct of initiatives aimed at the elimination of territorial rights of indigenous peoples, among which stands out the Proposed Constitutional Amendment (PEC) No 215-A / 2000, which transfers to Power legislative responsibility to demarcate indigenous lands, holder of the lands of the quilombo and create conservation units, usurping the prerogative
constitutional executive power. If approved, the PEC 215 will paralyze the process of recognition of indigenous lands in Brazil and revert including demarcations already approved.
In this scenario, the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil - APIB, national body of indigenous representation, comes before this Council request:
To pay particular attention to this offensive against the indigenous rights in Brazil and the reality of the territorial conflicts and violence suffered by communities and indigenous leaders;
What Urja to Brazil to fulfill its constitutional responsibilities, supported by international treaties, considering:
- The resumption of the constitutional process of demarcation of indigenous lands;
- The repeal of Ordinance No. 303/2012 and other regulations and decrees aimed at restricting indigenous territorial rights,
- The suspension of the National Congress of PEC 215/2000, and any other legislative initiatives which are characterized by non-compliance with the ILO Convention 169 in an attempt to suppress the original rights, collective and fundamental rights of indigenous peoples;
- The application of ILO Convention 169 in all administrative or legislative matters affecting the rights, interests and aspirations of indigenous peoples guaranteed by the Brazilian Constitution, the ILO Convention 169, the Inter-American System of Human Rights and the Declaration of Nations Convention on the rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Thank you so much!

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF COORDINATION OF BRAZIL - APIB
In the latter Bimester of the year, we are working on indigenous issues in Brazil with my students and also the Religious Diversity and its intolerance.
If they can pass on this document to all participants of the COY 22 and Indigenous groups participants to be informed about the seriousness of the problems we are experiencing here in Brazil, we put in the disposal for contacts with indigenous leaders Brazilian to have more information of the struggles that are waged against the Rulers (White Man).
The site of the Indigenous Missionary Council in Brazil - site: http://www.cimi.org.br/site/
the upper right side of the page has the English language for knowledge of the documents and work of the Indigenous Council in Brazil.
There is a document in English UN that deals with the Indian question in the world, please visit:

Please include this issue in the final document of COY 22, so that the UN Secretary General and the President of COP 22, to take science and promote specific actions on the subject.
One of the major problems we are facing in Brazil (Cerrado - Pantanal and the Amazon Forest) is the rampant deforestation and fires, affecting and impacting directly on biodiversity and the sustainability of these biomes.
Sitting Bull Chief Sioux told the President of the United States in 1855, when the US government wanted to acquire the Indian territory, this the end of the letter said: "When the last tree is cut, when the last river is polluted, when the last fish is fish, then yes they will realize that money does not eat "
This is what is happening in Brazil and Biomes that should be protected by the state.
In a report 2004 of the magazine Super Interesting, the researcher Dante Grecco said: See Report.

The projections are alarming. According to recent studies, the cerrado is in serious danger of disappearing by 2030, while Amazon would not see the dawn of the next century.
Two of the major biomes (the name given to regions dominated a number of species of fauna and flora) in the country, the savannah occupies 2.04 million km2 (22% of the Brazilian territory), while the Amazon rainforest accounts for 3.4 million km2 (more than 40% of Brazil).
Coincidentally the two alerts were given in July. First, the journal Nature published a note on a study by Conservation International (CI) revealed that about 20 000 km2 of cerrado are destroyed every year to make way for soy farming, wheat and cotton. "It's the equivalent of 2.6 football fields per minute," says biologist Ricardo Machado, one of the authors of the study. The researchers compared 2002 satellite images with data from 1993. That year, 49% of the total closed area was destroyed. In 2002, the devastation reached 54%. At this rate the Cerrado could end in 2030, giving way to agricultural and urban areas.
According to Machado, there are still possibilities to reverse this situation, since environmental legislation is complied with and the preservation areas (5% of the total closed area now), enlarged.
The most ironic of this story is that if the savannah disappeared, it may resurface in another region of the country as the result of another ecological disaster: the devastation of the Amazon rainforest. In a recent study, a meteorologist at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) Carlos Nobre examined how the forest has interfaced with the climate over the past 20,000 years and has projected. "Global warming and rising deforestation can bring significant climate change, especially with the reduction in rainfall," he said. Thus, it provides that the dense forest may give rise to a typical cerrado vegetation.
To prevent this from happening, we must act on two fronts. "The first is to end the illegal logging, which accounts for up to 80% of deforestation. The other is to fight for the emission of pollutants, which causes the rise in temperature is reduced, "says Carlos Nobre.
