📅 7 February 2007 📍 Brazil

Decree 6,040 created the National Policy for the Sustainable Development of Traditional Peoples and Communities. It described traditional territories as necessary to communities’ cultural, social and economic reproduction and expressly connected quilombola territories to constitutional protections. This framework recognized collective ways of life, although it did not substitute for community-specific land titles.
