                         Indigenous peoples in Brazil, exposing them to violence, 
                         contagious diseases, mercury contamination, and loss of 
                         livelihoods. Recent collaborative efforts by society achieved 
                         positive advances against mining in Indigenous Lands (ILs). 
                         Notably, the National Mining Agency (ANM) has revoked thousands of 
                         mining requests that encroached upon ILs for decades, marking a 
                         historic but underpublicized milestone. However, in recent months, 
                         the National Congress has approved a series of counter-attacks 
                         against Indigenous rights. Despite these advancements, it is 
                         imperative for society to sustain pressure in combating illegal 
                         mining in ILs and the ongoing attacks by ruralist and mining 
                         groups, who have a long history of undermining Indigenous 
                         rights.",
