Brazil - Indigenous land and agricultural issues - the Guarani indigenous population is at risk from large agribusiness

Elderly old Guarani man in a tradtional headress. The Guarani are one of the most populous indigenous populations in Brazil, but with the least amount of land. They mostly live in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul and Mato Grosso. Their tradtional way of life and ancestral land is increasingly at risk from large scale agribusiness and agriculture. There have been recorded cases and allegations of violence between owners of large farms and the Guarani communities in this region.
