Frontiers, conflicts and pressures on the indigenous lands on the brazilian Cerrado

Abstract

The work that now are going presented aimed to outline some considerations about the advance of mining interests in the Cerrado biome, emphasizing its implications in Indigenous Lands (TIs), under a context of Conservative Ultraliberal Neoextractivism, and appropriation of natural resources. Specifically, we present the cartography of the advance of mining interests in the Cerrado, signaling important aspects and still very few discussed about the pressure that mining interests represent for these communities. The results presented and discussed here show that there has been a significant advance in mining processes in the research phase in recent decades in Cerrado, with a high concentration in the Cerrado of Goiás region. Indigenous Lands are going showed like small island areas amid mining interests.
