Quick Glance: Brazil's Struggle Over Amazon Oil Drilling
- Petrobras faces resistance from Indigenous groups and government agencies in its key exploration project to open Brazil's northern coast to oil drilling.

- Indigenous leaders demand consultation before drilling, amid concerns over environmental impact and the influx of migrant workers to Oiapoque.
