Quilombo Boa Vista

In 1989, the São Paulo Pro-Indian Commission and the Iepé Indigenous Research and Training Institute partnered with the indigenous and quilombola communities of the region in the struggle to ensure the guarantee of rights and the consolidation of their organizations.^[8] Through this partnership, in September 2012 the "1st Indian & Quilombola Meeting" took place in Oriximiná, which resulted in the "Indigenous-Quilombola Alliance".

The community is largely still covered by well-preserved forests, with low population density (0.4 inhabitants/km² ),  but the advance of human occupation and urbanization in this region of the Amazon has made the territories vulnerable to a number of threats, such as mineral exploration and the construction of hydroelectric dams.^[9]

The community still faces numerous socio-environmental impacts due to 41 years of mining in the region, being a neighbor of a large Brazilian bauxite producing company, which has built 26 tailings dams in Oriximiná that cause contamination of rivers and springs.
