VOICED : Disputa de tierras en el Jardin Botanico de Rio de Janeiro

Horto, a tranquil community in the Jardín Botánico of Río de Janeiro, faces a legal land dispute with authorities. Residents experience harsh eviction tactics, making homes uninhabitable. Authorities view Horto as an illegal occupation, despite its UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status. The Jardín Botánico director suggests a strategic solution to benefit research activities while allowing residents to stay. Horto has a 200-year history with 620 homes developed from workers' housing. Despite looming evictions, residents resist, as seen in a 2016 police operation.
