“Today we celebrate not only the victory of President Lula, but also the popular mobilization in defense of democracy, life, and Indigenous peoples’ rights.” — Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB)

Yesterday, Brazilians elected Lula to a historic fourth term, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of a former president whose administration brought devastation to the Amazon and the Indigenous peoples who call it home.

Under Lula, deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon fell to its lowest level in decades. His next term must build on that progress by continuing to advance the demarcation of Indigenous territories, investing in community-led forest monitoring and fire prevention, and upholding Indigenous peoples’ rights nationwide.
