InfoAmazonia (Brazil), in Portuguese

Esta investigação revela que a Eneva, a maior empresa privada de gás do Brasil, foi autorizada a perfurar o único bloco ativo de petróleo e gás que se sobrepõe a um território indígena na Amazônia Legal brasileira. Mais de 75% da Terra Indígena Krenyê, no estado do Maranhão, se sobrepõe a um bloco concedido para exploração de combustíveis fósseis, onde a perfuração poderá começar em 2026, apesar das proteções constitucionais que proíbem a exploração de combustíveis fósseis em terras indígenas no Brasil. Vendida sob o argumento da transição energética, a expansão do Complexo Termoelétrico de Parnaíba aposta na produção de gás natural liquefeito e da transformação de uma das principais fronteiras do agronegócio brasileiro em um corredor logístico para gás e grãos, impactando territórios quilombolas e outras áreas protegidas.

InfoAmazonia (Brazil), in English

This investigation reveals that Eneva, Brazil’s largest private gas company, has been authorized to drill the only active oil and gas block overlapping an Indigenous territory in the Brazilian Legal Amazon. Over 75% of the Krenyê Indigenous Land, in the state of Maranhão, overlaps a block granted for fossil fuel exploration, where drilling could begin in 2026, despite constitutional protections that prohibit fossil fuel exploration on Indigenous lands. Framed as part of the energy transition, the expansion of the Parnaíba Thermoelectric Complex relies on liquefied natural gas production and on turning one of Brazil’s main agribusiness frontiers into a logistics corridor for gas and grains, impacting quilombola territories and other protected areas.

24.hu (Hungary), in Hungarian

Miközben nemzetközi egyezmények a védett természeti területek megóvását ígérik, a valóságban olaj- és gázengedélyek hálózzák be a világ legértékesebb élőhelyeit – és Magyarország sem kivétel. A Fueling Ecocide nemzetközi oknyomozó projekt – amelyben a 24.hu partnerként vett részt – feltárta, hogy a fosszilis kitermelés világszerte több mint 7000 védett területet érint összesen 690 ezer négyzetkilométeren. Az adatok szerint Magyarországon több mint 4000 négyzetkilométernyi védett területet fednek át olaj- és gázkoncessziókkal, miközben a kormány 2025-ben olyan jogszabály-módosítást fogadott el, amely a szénhidrogén-kitermelést Natura 2000 területeken is „kiemelt közérdekké” minősítette.

Per la prima volta mostriamo tutti i dati georeferenziati a livello globale tra aree protette e licenze per lo sfruttamento di risorse fossili, associandole ai nomi delle aziende responsabili. Una mole di dati considerevole: oltre 15mila concessioni in 132 paesi. In testa alla classifica delle compagnie fossili a cui sono riconducibili le sovrapposizioni più vaste, c’è l’indonesiana Pertamina con 20 mega concessioni sovrapposte a 47 aree protette. Eni si colloca al nono posto, con 50 licenze sovrapposte a 85 aree protette in 13 Paesi. Un’inchiesta giornalistica condotta dall’Environmental Investigative Forum in partnership con lo European Investigative Collaborations e con decine di testate internazionali, tra cui Domani.

Τοποθετήσαμε στον ίδιο χάρτη όλες τις προστατευόμενες περιοχές και (σχεδόν) όλα τα οικόπεδα υδρογονανθράκων του πλανήτη. Η εικόνα είναι απογοητευτική: 7.021 προστατευόμενες περιοχές, συνολικής έκτασης 690.000 τ.χλμ. (μεγαλύτερη από τη Γαλλία!), έχουν παράλληλα παραχωρηθεί για έρευνες και εξορύξεις πετρελαίου και φυσικού αερίου.

Governments have allowed oil and gas companies to operate in more than 7,000 “protected” areas around the world. Protected sites are recognised by international agreements but left at risk by weak enforcement. Total area encroached on is bigger than the size of France and includes sites that are vital buffers against climate change.
