This July is the first time the United Nations will review the progress made towards meeting Sustainable Development Goal 15, which is about Life on Land. Each goal will be reviewed about every 4 years until 2030.

Ainda existem muitas terras sem dono em Portugal, apesar das várias tentativas de cadastrar o território. A situação complica a limpeza das terras. Não há a quem pedir responsabilidades.

Não é mistério nem segredo algum saber da trágica realidade em que se acham aprisionados os povos indígenas no Brasil. O que causa indignação e espanto é o descaso com que têm sido tratados esses povos.
