Danos ambientais decorrentes de ocupações no entorno de terras indígenas e os direitos dos povos afetados : o caso do Parque Indígena Xingu

Abstract

This work aim to approach about the environmental protection around the indigenous lands, as well as social and environmental damage resulting from the lack of such protection, specifically the Xingu Indigenous Park – PIX. It is register that the protection of these indigenous lands and its natural source became the main figure in this indigenous matter in Brazil today, even thoug when it appears that this space specially environmental is predisposed to constant interventions/pressures that occur usually in the form of invasions to illegal deforestation, setting up irregular timber companies around the Indian lands, and mainly, the constant presence of agricultural activies beyond there areas. It is observed that the environmental damage incurred by the Indians lands, due to the lack of mechanisms that provide protection from its surroundings, shows of in the form of environmental damage, it means intolerable environmental harm in ways of being, doing and living of the Indians towards the nature. Therefor, the performance of systems of accountability for environmental damage in its civil, administrative and criminal field are essential and corollary to the provisions of the Federal Constitution which guarantees to indigenous people the right of the ownership of an ecologically balanced environment.
