The rural sector puts pressure on the government against the demarcation of indigenous
lands, exacerbating the situation of conflict in the state. The state government even intends
to amend the law to allow new mills to be built in the Pantanal nature reserve, in the region
between the river basins of the Paraguay and the Paraná. This project may intensify land
conflicts even further, while also causing more destruction to the Cerrado and contaminating
rivers and subterranean water reservoirs, including the Guarani Aquifer. According to
Alessandro Menezes, of the organisation Ecologia e Ação, “Sugar cane monoculture has
the potential to change large areas of the Cerrado, thereby compromising biodiversity and
distorting the area surrounding the Pantanal, a Unesco World Heritage Site”3
