World in Progress: Indigenous in Brazil to lose tribal land

Jonas Fruensgaard/ Neil King March 9, 2016

The Brazilian government has plans to change the constitution, so that it’ll be easier to evict Brazil's 600,000 Indigenous people from the land they live on, clearing the way for agriculture and infrastructure projects. Indigenous groups across the country are currently fighting for their land rights, but time is running out. The vote on the new legislation could go through in April.
