It was a time to listen to the leaders of these peoples, realign priorities and strengthen the union for the defense of the forest throughout the Xingu Basin.
Eight organizations have joined the struggle of the Xingu+ Network, which is expanding at a crucial time of attacks on the rights of Indigenous Peoples and Traditional Communities.
