?? Good News:
Located in the Brazilian Amazon between the states of Roraima and Amazonas, the Yanomami Indigenous Land faced a severe humanitarian and environmental crisis with the invasion of around 20,000 illegal miners in search of gold and cassiterite. Leaders are now turning to their youths’ skills to maintain their ancestors’ legacy and safeguard the future of a sprawling territory covering almost the size of Portugal. Trained youths can now act as multipliers of drone monitoring and watch the land against new invasions.
