Xingu Indigenous Park
Xingu Indigenous Park is a vast protected area in Brazil, home to numerous Indigenous tribes, including the Xingu people. Established in 1961, it spans over 2.6 million hectares and serves as a sanctuary for diverse wildlife and rich ecosystems. The park plays a crucial role in preserving the cultural heritage and traditional lifestyles of its Indigenous inhabitants.
The park is not only significant for its biodiversity but also for its unique governance system, where Indigenous communities manage their lands collectively. This model promotes sustainable practices and helps protect the environment from deforestation and other threats, ensuring the survival of both the land and its people.
