She previously worked as a teacher, and over the past decade has gained international attention and praise for her environmental activism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She currently heads the Pariri Indigenous Association, an organisation that works to support Munduruku communities \u2013 a role she has carried out in face of repeated death threats, and which she balances alongside a law degree. \u201cI want to be a lawyer and keep defending the rights of my people,\u201d Alessandra told Di\u00e1logo Chino. \u201cThis is my dream.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Di\u00e1logo Chino spoke with Alessandra following her Goldman Prize award, hearing more on her resistance to mining and journey to prominence, the other causes she has defended and the new challenges she sees ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-campaign-against-mining\">Campaign against mining<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Goldman Prize was an acknowledgement of Alessandra\u2019s efforts to stop developments on Indigenous lands by British mining company Anglo American.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, she learned that Anglo American \u2013 one of the world\u2019s largest mining companies, active in Brazil&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.angloamerican.com\/about-us\/history#\/PT\/category-complete-history\/detail-our-first-step-into-south-america\">since the 1970s<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 had 13 permits to research copper reserves in the Sawr\u00e9 Muybu Indigenous territory. This 180,000-hectare area of rainforest had been home to the Munduruku for some 4,000 years, though the territory lacked any formal demarcation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-pull-quote block--pull-quote block--pull-quote--no-citation\"><div class=\"block--pull-quote__wrapper\"><blockquote class=\"block--pull-quote__quote\">Each step is a victory for us.

In the 2010s, the leader campaigned against the Brazilian government\u2019s plans to build a series of hydropower dams in the basin of the Tapaj\u00f3s River, a major tributary of the Amazon. Her resistance came after another mega-project in the region, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate-energy\/9746-how-a-dam-building-boom-is-transforming-the-brazilian-amazon\/\">Belo Monte dam<\/a>, had brought negative impacts for the Xingu River basin and riverside communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2016, Brazil\u2019s environmental agency IBAMA&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/oeco.org.br\/noticias\/ibama-suspende-licenciamento-da-usina-de-sao-luiz-do-tapajos\/\">withheld<\/a>&nbsp;the approval of one of these dams, the S\u00e3o Lu\u00eds do Tapaj\u00f3s, partly due to issues found in the project\u2019s environmental licensing, and partly in response to intense campaigning by the Munduruku. \u201cThat was our first victory, and it happened because we were very persistent,\u201d Alessandra said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-cd-related-news alignright block--related-news loading\" data-post-id=\"50051987\"><div class=\"block--related-news__image\"><\/div><div class=\"block--related-news__content\"><span class=\"block--related-news__heading\">Recommended<\/span><span class=\"block--related-news__title\"><\/span><\/div><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, illegal mining and its wastes were also&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/reporterbrasil.org.br\/2016\/04\/munduruku-nao-queremos-guerra-mas-nao-temos-medo-da-policia\/\">becoming a growing threat<\/a>&nbsp;to Munduruku lands and the Tapaj\u00f3s River. The Indigenous people reported&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/amazoniareal.com.br\/garimpo-provoca-a-morte-de-rios-e-traz-doencas-ao-indios-munduruku-no-para\/\">effects from contamination<\/a>, both on their health and in reduced populations of fish, but little scientific evidence of this was available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alessandra asked the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), a prominent health research institute, for help. \u201cA lot of people didn\u2019t believe that the population was sick due to mercury contamination,\u201d she said. \u201cWhite people tend to believe in paper, so we wanted to show the paper. We wanted to prove it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2020, a series of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/portal.fiocruz.br\/noticia\/estudo-analisa-contaminacao-por-mercurio-entre-o-povo-indigena-munduruku\">Fiocruz studies<\/a>&nbsp;have been released describing the effects of mercury exposure through fish consumption in traditional communities, first based on the case of the Munduruku, but later extended to other groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Railways, the new challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alessandra has little free time amid her campaigning. She spoke with Di\u00e1logo Chino the day after the award ceremony from a San Francisco airport, while waiting for a flight to Washington, where meetings with key international leaders and stakeholders would take place. \u201cPeople joke that nobody can stop me, nobody can fool me,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd my mum says that she never knows where I am.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-cd-related-news alignright block--related-news loading\" data-post-id=\"50054111\"><div class=\"block--related-news__image\"><\/div><div class=\"block--related-news__content\"><span class=\"block--related-news__heading\">Recommended<\/span><span class=\"block--related-news__title\"><\/span><\/div><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to returning to her studies, another challenge awaits Alessandra when she returns to Brazil in the next week. She is concerned about the potential impacts of a number of planned infrastructure projects \u2013 chief among them,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/infrastructure\/54065-brazil-railway-expansion-plans-pressure-on-amazon\/\">Ferrogr\u00e3o<\/a>, a 900-kilometre railroad that will pass through the Amazon towards ports in the north, primarily carrying corn and soy for export.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Original plans for Ferrogr\u00e3o were drawn up more than a decade ago, and despite various controversies and legal actions surrounding it, the project is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate-energy\/63907-will-lula-be-brazils-environmental-saviour\/\">still alive<\/a>&nbsp;under the government of President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva. \u201cWe know our territory will be affected,\u201d Alessandra said. \u201cSo we need to be heard. Before decisions that will impact our territory, the government has to talk to us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indigenous woman Alessandra Munduruku wins 2023 Goldman Prize for her resistance to mining in Brazil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20000283,"featured_media":50368227,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[50039902],"tags":[502,555,566],"hashtags":[],"country":[50000021],"class_list":["post-50368151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-forests","tag-activism","tag-indigenous-peoples","tag-mining","country-brazil"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v26.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How an Amazon activist became a \u2018Green Nobel\u2019 prize winner | Dialogue Earth<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Indigenous woman Alessandra Munduruku wins 2023 Goldman Prize for her resistance to mining in Brazil.
