In this episode, we dive into one of the Amazon’s most urgent issues: the impact of mercury contamination on Indigenous lands and traditional communities. With an integrated approach to health and the environment, the project—coordinated by Fiocruz with support from Fiotec and partners like WWF—combines science, ancestral knowledge, and environmental justice to protect lives, territories, and cultures. Through the perspectives of researchers, policymakers, and Indigenous leaders, discover the challenges and progress of an initiative that aims to mitigate the damage caused by illegal gold mining and build a more sustainable future.
