Brazil to allow mining in nature reserve

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The reserve of 46,000 square kilometres, is home to some of Brazil's indigenous people - but the land is rich in gold and other minerals. For the past 30 years, mining in the reserve has been restricted to state mining companies. The Brazilian government has issued a decree that allows private mining projects - and that's worried many environmental groups. Mauricio Voivodic, Executive Director of WWF in Brazil, spoke to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Vivienne Nunis. Picture: Flavia Morlachetti/ Getty Images
