Over the past five months, 59 individuals have been apprehended.

Nilton Tubino, Director of the Government House, emphasizes that without mining activities, there will be more room for the federal government to implement initiatives in support of indigenous causes. ‘Significant support is still needed to restore the Yanomami people, as the devastation caused by mining, such as mercury contamination and disease spread, coupled with years of neglect, has left a legacy of desolation. It is through tireless work that we seek to change this reality,’ stated the director.
The Government House has reported a notable decline in illegal activities in the region due to the implemented measures, along with an increase in the costs associated with illegal mining operations. ‘There has been a 73% decrease in mining alerts in the Yanomami Indigenous Land during the period of January, February, March, and April 2024, compared to the same timeframe in 2023,’ stated the administration in a release. ‘Moreover, the expenses related to illegal mining operations have surged by 40%,’ added the Government House.
