After 33 days of Indigenous protests at a Cargill facility in Santarém, Brazil, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's government announced it would revoke a controversial decree that permitted private concessions for Amazonian waterways.

The Brazilian government announced the revocation of a decree allowing private concessions for waterways, following 33 days of protests by Indigenous people at a Cargill facility in Santarém, northern Brazil.

Brazil has decided to revoke a decree that would have expanded Amazonian waterways in a federal privatization program, following the occupation of a Cargill port facility on the Tapajós river by Indigenous protesters.

Brazil’s government announced the revocation of Decree 12,600/2025, which opened the door to privatizing the Tapajós, Madeira, and Tocantins rivers for industrial waterways in the Amazon, following a 33-day Indigenous occupation of Cargill’s port in Santarém, Pará State.
