Indigenous people and environmental activists protested outside a luxury hotel in Rio de Janeiro where the auctions to sell oil exploration rights took place. Most of the 172 blocks for sale are located in areas with no current production, such as 47 offshore locations close to the Amazon River and two sites at an inland territory in the Amazon near Indigenous territories.
