A court in Brazil has told cattle farmers and other outsiders to leave the Piripkura people's land in Mato Grosso. The court made its decision on 7 October. They have 120 days to leave. They must also take their workers, cows, machines and other things away.
At least two Piripkura people live on this land. They choose to live without contact with other people. Brazil has special rules to protect the area from outsiders. These rules started in 2008, but a court allowed some farmers to stay in 2025.
Officials found new areas where people cut down trees against the law to keep cattle. They also found secret places for planes to land, with reported links to the illegal drug trade. Brazil's Indigenous affairs agency, Funai, says unwanted contact could bring illness and violence to the Piripkura.
The new decision changes the earlier court decision. People who stay after the deadline must pay 500 Brazilian reais each day. Funai will lead the work to make people leave. Police may help if necessary, but officials want people to leave without force.
