Council on Latin American & Iberian Studies

Beto Marubo is a prominent Indigenous leader in Brazil and coordinating member of the Union of Indigenous Peoples of the Javari Valley (UNIVAJA). He worked alongside Bruno Pereira, the activist murdered in 2022 when investigating illegal mining and logging with the journalist Dom Philips, to protect the Javari Valley, whose location on the border with Peru and near Colombia has made it especially susceptible to illegal incursions.
