MPF recommends recovery of almost 50 km of branches that give access to indigenous villages in Feijó Marcelo Camargo/Agência Brasil The Federal Public Ministry (MPF) recommended that the Acre Highway Department (Deracre) and Feijó City Hall, in the interior of Acre, jointly carry out the recovery of almost 50 km of roads that give access to the villages of the Katukina-Kaxinawá Indigenous Land. According to the document, signed by attorney Luidgi Merlo Paiva dos Santos, the need to recover the branches is related to a supply crisis faced by indigenous communities.
