Authors:


Roraima, the Apple of Bolsonaro's Eye is a reporting project that looks at environmental crimes and Indigenous land rights violations in Roraima, the Brazilian state with the largest Indigenous population, in the context of the upcoming Brazilian elections. The title is a reference to President Jair Bolsonaro’s own description of Roraima where today, seeking re-election, he remains wildly popular and where candidates with similar outlooks seem set to fill the majority of legislative seats and the governor’s office.
