What is the relationship between Alcoa and the Juruti Velho communities like?
Some communities in the Juruti Velho region are close to the bauxite mining and beneficiation area of the Juruti Mine. Many localities are partners of Alcoa in projects coming under the PCAs and other sustainability activities, especially the farming of fish, the production of vegetables and the Turtles of the Amazon Project. Led by the Community Association of the Juruti Velho Region (ACORJUVE), some community representatives are demanding compensation for Alcoa’s presence in the region, among which is payment for use of the soil and for the project’s activities.
