Severe malnutrition and disease are decimating the Yanomami population in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest, and on Jan. 20 the federal government declared a public health emergency. It didn’t come as a surprise to those familiar with the circumstances, who have issued warnings for several years.

To clarify a bit. In the beginning of the year, Brazil has swapped powers, from an alt right wing president to a left wing one. So soon many scandals will unfold.

Yes, it's also mentioned in the article. I found it interesting as it gives some background information on Brazil and the circumstances to those who don't know the country well (such as me).
