Thank you Senator Marina Silva !
Marina Silva, Minister of the Environment in Lula's government since 2003 has resigned last 13 May, denouncing the lack of support from the government and pressure from the agro-industry responsible of the deforestation.
The Traditional Communities of the Rio Jauaperi and the Amazonia Association want to thank Marina Silva for the extraordinary work done these years to support the creation of numerous protected areas, including the presently being born Exctractive Reserve of the Lower Rio Branco-Rio Jauperi.
We will continue to be close to the senator in her battle in defence of Amazonia and her people.

The Traditional Communities of the Rio Jauaperi
meet with President Lula.
Representatives of the traditional communities of the Rio Jauperi have gone to Brasilia to affirm their wish for the creation of the Extractive Reserve of the LowerRio Branco - Rio Jauperi.
"Because professional fishing boats, ranchers, loggers and the government of Roraima with its plans for building roads and colonizing the area are destroying the birthright of our children and our grand children we demand the immediate creation of the Lower Rio Branco-Rio Jauaperi Extractive Reserve."
Signed by the communities of Santa Maria Velha, Tapanaruca, Remanso, Floresta, Itaquera, Samauma, Xixuau, Tananau, Palestina, Gaspar and Sao Pedro
