Alessandra Korap Munduruku's 2023 Goldman Environmental Prize Acceptance Speech

Alessandra Korap Munduruku accepts the 2023 Goldman Environmental Prize for South & Central America
Alessandra Korap Munduruku organized community efforts to stop mining development by British mining company Anglo American in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest. In May 2021, the company formally committed to withdraw 27 approved research applications to mine inside Indigenous territories, including the Sawré Muybu Indigenous Territory, which contains more than 400,000 acres of rainforest. The decision protects a critically threatened area of the Amazon-the world’s largest rainforest and a globally significant carbon sink-from further mining and deforestation.
