And the Act also regulates the trade of wildlife parts and products. Since the Act was passed 50 years ago, it has had a remarkable impact on Indian wildlife and conservation. It has also been heavily criticised, with the laws having undergone several amendments over time.

Do you know the super ecocide&unconstitutional Brazil’s #PL490?This bill would open up protected indigenous lands to commercial agriculture & mining,& is backed by super far-far-far-right President Jair Bolsonaro who advocates developing the Amazon region by…,well,killing us all
This bill PL 490 is harmful not just to Amazonia, but to humanity. It was rejected by the human rights commission in 2009. “This is an unacceptable setback for indigenous rights and a constitutional absurdity," said Brazil's only indigenous lawmaker Joenia Wapichana.
The campaign to stop passage of the bill comes at a time of increased attacks on indigenous communities by wildcat gold miners who have illegally invaded indigenous lands. It’s a war against life & the future and humanity.
