Dear friends,

Unfortunately, despite our campaign at the end of last year and the hard
work done on the ground by the Indigenous Council of Roraima, former
Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso did not ratify Raposa Serra do
Sol before leaving office.

Had Cardoso signed the ratification of RSS, celebrations in the area would
have echoed across the world. We were indeed hopeful, and kept listening
for those celebrations through the end of the year. There were hopeful
signs: the Brazilian government itself recognized CIR for it's work on the
issue through two awards. We also learned that the government officials
targeted through our campaign were receiving some 50 e-mails per hour!

Unfortunately, however, the new year came and went without Cardoso signing
the ratification. Tension remains high in the area, and is reaching a
breaking point. The body of a Macuxi man who went missing from the
community of Maturuca on January 2nd was found this week, buried in a
shallow grave. It is feared that he was murdered by a worker from a ranch
in the area, which is owned by a local politician. Lack of permanent
definition of RSS continues to generate and exacerbate conflicts, resulting
all too often in tragedy. The time is now to resolve the situation by
ratifying RSS.

On January 1st, Luis Inacio Lula da Silva became president. We are hopeful
that with him, RSS will finally be ratified. Despite the contagious climate
of hope in Brazil, however, the new government has said nothing to date
about RSS, nor about Indigenous rights in general. We therefore feel it is
important to continue the campaign.

Below please find a model letter to Lula, as well as the new Minister of
Justice and Secretary of State for Human Rights (we've also attached it, in
MS Word, which may be easier for you to print out or recycle). Please do
take a moment to send them a letter rather than doing a joint letter, we're
encouraging everyone to send their own, so the new administration will
receive as many as possible. Now is a crucially important time, reflecting
on the escalation of tensions in the area, and as the new government
determines its priorities and actions.

CIR is also planning to launch a campaign oriented toward the Brazilian
public during the World Social Forum, coming up in Porto Alegre. If you
plan on attending, do seek them out. Meanwhile, we will let you know of any
new developments. Please do send copies of your letters to us at
 raposa@wald.org, and keep in touch.

Thanks, and best wishes for the new year.

PS: Please help us spread the word by adding this alert (or one like it) to
your website, your next newsletter, sending it out to your e-mail lists,
etc. Pro Regenwald has set up a campaign site
(www.wald.org/raposa/index4.php3), inviting individuals and organizations to
sign on to the campaign. It generates automatic messages to the Brazilian
officials, and registers public support for the campaign. All of the
organizations that signed the letter to Cardoso are listed on the site.
Please do invite your members/supporters to add their names as well.

Dear Mr. President:

As someone [an organization] concerned with sustainable development, human
rights, and Indigenous peoples, we have followed closely the sweeping call
for change that brought you to power in Brazil.

We are aware of and laud you for your longstanding commitment to social
issues. Given your history and that of your new administration, we are
confident that Brazil will take enormous strides in recognizing Indigenous
rights, including the right to land, as guaranteed in the Constitution.

From what we understand, it is not difficult to conclude that one of the
most serious situations among Indigenous peoples in Brazil today is that of
the lack of official recognition of Raposa Serra do Sol. Located in the
state of Roraima, Raposa Serra do Sol is the traditional land of the Macuxi,
Wapixana, Taurepang, Patamona and Ingarico peoples, numbering some 15,000.
Without final ratification, the area remains invaded by miners, squatters,
and townships, to the detriment of Indigenous communities. Indeed,
Indigenous peoples are the principal victims of the situation, as conflicts
continue and multiply. Due to this situation, tension is high in the area,
and is reaching a breaking point with the recent murder of a Macuxi man from
the community of Maturuca. This murder is the latest in a series of human
rights abuses committed in the area over the years. Hopefully, it is also
the last.

Final ratification of Raposa Serra do Sol had been prevented by a legal
challenge in Brazilian courts since 1999. This issue was resolved in late
November of last year, however, and arguments against the full recognition
of Raposa Serra do Sol were denied. Today, there are no legal arguments
preventing the President of the Republic from ratifying the area.

We therefore respectfully request that you consider ratifying the
demarcation of Raposa Serra do Sol. It is the last major unresolved issue
in terms of demarcation of Indigenous lands in Brazil. We have followed the
demands of the Indigenous peoples of Raposa Serra do Sol through successive
governments, and their pleading is long overdue.

Ratification of Raposa Serra do Sol represents both a challenge and an
opportunity. We understand you have been there yourself, so you certainly
see the challenges. But as you have pointed out more than once, your
election reflects the moment that hope wins over fear in Brazil.
Ratification is an opportunity to guarantee a future without fear and full
of hope for the Indigenous peoples of Raposa Serra do Sol.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Sincerely,

Cc:
