In 2017 there was a disaster on the Pará River, in Barcarena, in the metropolitan region of Belém, when a ship with more than five thousand live cattle and 700 tons of oil on board sank. The vessel left the port of Vila do Conde, bound for Venezuela.

The tragedy affected the lives of thousands of people in this region. The affected families say that until today they have not been compensated because of the environmental, social and economic tragedy.

Amazônia Real: Barcarena, uma Chernobyl na Amazônia
Ao sul da cidade de Barcarena, está localizada a planta industrial da Alunorte, a maior produtora de alumina do mundo. Quando a companhia se instalou neste município paraense, nos anos 1990, os habitantes imaginavam que o futuro tinha chegado. Só não podiam prever que esse futuro representaria sofrimentos, intoxicações em níveis mortais e um abandono das autoridades que deveriam zelar por suas vidas. O luto e a luta da população contra os crimes ambientais da mineradora são reais, mas poucos têm noção da dimensão dessa tragédia. A população contaminada pelas indústrias de mineração no nordeste do Pará pede justiça. Para as vítimas, Barcarena é uma Chernobyl na Amazônia. To the south of the city of Barcarena, is located the Alunorte industrial plant, the largest alumina producer in the world. When the company settled in this municipality in Pará, in the 1990s, the inhabitants imagined that the future had arrived. They just couldn't foresee that this future would represent suffering, intoxication at mortal levels and an abandonment of the authorities that should watch over their lives. The population's mourning and struggle against the mining company's environmental crimes are real, but few are aware of the scale of this tragedy. The population contaminated by mining industries in northeastern Pará demands justice. For the victims, Barcarena is a Chernobyl in the Amazon

Sol Nascente is the largest favela in Brazil. I know it from knowing people who live there. Complicated access to water and energy, very cramped and unpaved streets. Essential services do not function well. And those who live there end up living far from everything.

Roraima

I was born in Roraima, and the environmental racism in this area is tied to the unsustainable exploitation of natural resources in indigenous territories. Activities like mining, deforestation for cattle farming, and soy cultivation have a detrimental impact on the quality of life for Roraima's indigenous population.

I lived in Aracaju for over 15 years and used to see racist attitudes as more than a crime. There is an important project, “Aracaju Without Racism”, which plays a fundamental role within the actions carried out by Social Assistance in the capital. In it, workshops are promoted with people from the communities that surround the more than 40 neighborhoods of Aracaju, focusing on combating institutional racism and violence against the black population. However, racism can appear in different ways, such as unfair treatment at work, violence police and inequalities in education and society in general. To address these problems, it is important that the community, government and institutions work together to promote equality and combat racial prejudice.
