Avenida Liberdade highway will split up two conservation areas and run past a traditional Afro-Brazilian community.
Government officials say the highway will reduce traffic in the city and improve the lives of millions of urban dwellers.
Environmentalists say the road will fragment the forest, causing changes in the microclimate and threatening the area’s biodiversity.
The highway is part of a series of projects to upgrade infrastructure in Belém ahead of the COP30 climate summit next year .
The Avenida Liberdade project, under discussion since 2013 , has seen various changes since its first conception.
Vanuza Cardoso , an anthropologist and spiritual leader of the Abacatal territory, told Mongabay that the highway’s proximity could attract outsiders to the region and lead to problems such as real estate speculation.
She said she fears a similar outcome with the new highway, especially as she said the community wasn’t adequately consulted.
