The Terena culture used to occupy tens of thousands of hectares, most was taken from them and degraded.

The River Buriti, that feeds 13 separate aldeias (indigenous villages) in the Buriti indigenous reserve, has suffered terribly, and the water volume is dropping year by year as a result.

It is now the thin green line you can see in the top right of the reserve on the map.

We are looking for 13 schools in the Brighton area to twin with 13 schools in the reserve - details of the school scheme here.
