Dear President of the Environmental Commission and Sustainable Development of the Chamber of Deputies and other members, Good Day!

Among the suggestions brought to the Coordination of the International Youth Forum on Climate Change (COY 21), is
the need of the assurance given by the representatives of each country at the COP 21 meeting in Paris (signed by the representatives and the president of the Forum) so that there is compliance with the demands presented by youth, teachers and researchers of the International Forum on Global Climate Change .

Without this guarantee the representatives of the participating countries at COP 21 in Paris, and monitoring by the youth, teachers and researchers in each participating country COY 21, the need to be created an International Observatory on Climate Change, with scrolling in each member country in debates, and the cooperation of participating governments and the UN to implement the proposals, the whole discussion becomes innocuous and unproductive take protective measures and reversal of Climate issues for the population and the environment, to be applied to representatives countries UN COP 21.

Come the presence of Your Excellencies, to present the degrading situation - documents below - why has spent the Forests Peoples in Brazil over the years, without the representatives of the legislative branch in Brazil, see the cruel and inhumane reality perpetrated against state our indigenous brothers.

We would also resume in the climate of post-conference in Paris, protective measures climate change in each participating country and put us had that spirit here in Brazil, where it already contacted several authorities of the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary for this action.

We want the final document, bearing the name of the participating countries, State or City, School and Teachers, as well as all employees of the COY 21.

Thus, when the delivery of the end of the COY 21 at the meeting document between the parties of the COP 21, to be transmitted to the governments of the countries participating in the COP 21 and COY 21 to be worked post-Conference developments, which put us disposal with our students for this endeavor.

We can only thank and wish success in the actions of the Conference of the Parties and post-conference.

I am participating with my students the Middle Wansbeck North Education Center of the discussions on climate change at the International Forum, where we have to present the problems and seek solutions to issues of climate change in Brazil and worldwide.

Teachers various representatives of other countries are exchanging information on the subject Climate Change.

Secondly the discussions, I'm talking to Professor Lisa Canada, discussing the situation of Forests People in Brazil and worldwide.

I have been following with regret the developments and confrontations that the Brazilian state has engendered against indigenous community in Brazil, becoming national and international shame, in that their land rights, were stolen and appropriated by ranchers, farmers, loggers and environmental speculators which make the environmental disaster in our country, the profit of those who joined criminally against the Brazilian people and its natural resources.

Faced with these questions that do not reach a positive term in favor of those most massacred - The Forest Peoples - Indigenous people of Brazil, I come to request the interference of the Commission on Environment and Development of the House of Representatives in favor of those who are in Brazilian territory before "Brazilian discovery of the land" and that they are the rightful owners of this ground manly, elaborating document to be presented at the International Forum on Climate Change, to be held in Paris in December.

We are therefore disposal of the representatives of the legislative power of Brazil, that do justice to those excluded from their land, rights and guarantees should be given to every Brazilian citizen.

Some of the specific attention to, such as the reading of the document to members of Congress, put us to disposal to present our recommendations to the Brazilian government. The following copy of this message to the representatives of the International Forum on Climate Change, for information and positioning.​

§ 4. The land referred to in this "article after it is approved demarcation or ratified by Congress, are inalienable and unavailable and the rights thereto imprescriptible".

§ 8. The criteria and Indigenous Areas demarcation procedures shall be regulated by law.

Nothing could be fairer participation of the National Congress in appreciation of acts of the executive branch as happens in any bill sent to Congress. The idea is the executive branch proposed the demarcation of indigenous lands to the Legislature and this, in turn, as emanating power of the people, to analyze and to seal. The proposal approved by the Legislature returns to the Executive for sanction and approval. This is democracy!

What these institutions, which are against the PEC 215, are based to argue against the demarcation of indigenous lands, anthropological reports are issued by people linked to these same entities. Therefore influences with distorted reality and totally one-sided, forged in institutional interests, totally biased.

There are no set rules to ensure a fair demarcation and compensation of the injured. Participation of the Legislature will give greater legitimacy to the demarcation process. Thus, there is no support on the unconstitutionality thus limiting the rights of the Indians. On the contrary, there will be broad national discussion on the subject. After all, it involves not only the right of the Indians, but also the rights of the whole society.

The proposal of the PEC 215/2000, comes at a time that is established in Brazil, from north to south, the conflict over land. The Executive, fragile, under pressure of all kinds, has no exemption for alone assume such responsibility. Therefore, the legislature has an obligation to contribute to this conflict matter. It is worth remembering also that in the absence of the Legislative, Judiciary recently fell to dictate rules on demarcation of indigenous areas, where the controversial demarcation of "Raposa Serra do Sol", in the State of Roraima.

Finally, the PEC 215/2000 is a citizen try and act in a democratic country full exercise of democracy.
