COMMUNITY // Oriximiná, Terra Santa, and Faro in Pará state.
MINE // Novas Minas project, a new joint venture between Glencore, Rio Tinto and Brazil's largest bauxite producer Mineracao Rio do Norte (MRN).
The MRN mine, located along the Trombetas River, has had severe impacts on traditional Quilombola and Ribeirinho communities. It has disrupted their livelihoods by cutting off access to the forest and waterways that once provided food and essential materials. Communities also face ongoing fear of environmental disaster from potential tailings dam failures and altered river flows.
The company fails to recognise many of these traditional riverside communities
― effectively treating them as if they do not exist.
