The Nukini tribe Brasil

The Nukini are part of the Pano-speaking indigenous groups residing in the Juruá Valley. They share not only similar cultural traditions and worldviews but also a tragic history marked by displacement, violence, and exploitation, largely due to the rubber industry since the mid-19th century. Their officially recognized land, the Terra Indígena Nukini, borders the Serra do Divisor National Park and is now integrated into one of Brazil’s most significant networks of protected areas.

Despite this, the Nukini are advocating for an extension of their territory to include part of the National Park. Regardless of the outcome, their main challenges remain preserving their physical and cultural identity and fostering positive relationships with environmental groups and other stakeholders involved in the park’s management. However, these groups often have differing priorities, leading to ongoing conflicts that have hindered constructive dialogue and collaborative conservation efforts. The area remains under constant threat from illegal logging, poaching, and drug trafficking, making cooperation even more critical for its protection.
