Why is the demarcation of indigenous lands important?

The demarcation of indigenous lands is essential to guarantee the preservation of the rights and culture of Brazil's original peoples. This practice is established in the 1988 Federal Constitution and is fundamental to protecting lands traditionally occupied by indigenous peoples and ensuring the continuity of their traditions and ways of life. The demarcation of indigenous lands is a right of these peoples and is important to protect biodiversity, ensure national sovereignty and guarantee social justice.
