Though Brazil’s quilombola people number 1.3 million, they do not have land rights like other Indigenous Brazilians. A new study in World Development Sustainability points to deeper systemic issues that may be at play. Senior Author for the study, Peter Newton, is an IBS fellow and associate professor of environmental studies. He sat down with CU Boulder Today’s Yvaine Ye to shed light on the quilombola and their plight for land rights.
