The Mongabay video “On the Frontline of the Amazon Land Conflict” highlights the persistent and often violent land conflicts affecting the Brazilian Amazon. Through on-the-ground reporting, it shows how agricultural expansion, illegal land grabbing and weak legal protection fuel tensions between Indigenous communities, smallholder farmers, large landowners and powerful economic actors. The film underscores the vulnerability of local populations to land insecurity, forced displacement and violence, in a context marked by impunity and accelerating environmental degradation. By giving voice to community members, environmental defenders and investigative journalists, the video emphasizes the central role of land governance in safeguarding human rights, biodiversity and social peace in the Amazon, and stresses the importance of coordinated action by NGOs, researchers and public institutions.
