Alessandra Korap Munduruku, 38, is a prominent Indigenous leader from the Munduruku group in Brazil, known for her tireless advocacy for Indigenous rights and environmental protection. As the president of the Pariri Indigenous Association, she has been instrumental in organizing community efforts to combat illegal mining and deforestation in the Amazon rainforest, particularly within the Sawré Muybu Indigenous Territory. Alessandra's activism gained international attention when she successfully led campaigns against mining applications by companies like Anglo American, resulting in the withdrawal of several permits that threatened her community's land.

Despite facing significant challenges, including threats and intimidation from those opposed to her activism, she remains a steadfast advocate for her community. Her leadership and resilience have made her a respected figure not only among the Munduruku but also in broader environmental movements, emphasizing the vital role of Indigenous peoples in safeguarding the Amazon rainforest and its biodiversity.
