a (civil) prohibitive (restraining) injunction consisting of - *stopping that development*
Explanation:
None too familiar with Brazilian Portuguese, as opposed to a smattering of gallego/Galician and the law. I surmise this is about stopping construction companies doing development works (?) encroaching upon indgenous 'tribal' lands until consultation with the native people(s) concerned.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covenant_(law)

A covenant is a type of agreement analogous to a contractual condition. The covenantor makes a promise to a covenantee to do (affirmative covenant (US) / positive covenant (E&W)) or not do some action (negative covenant).

In property law, land-related covenants are called "real covenants" and are a major form of covenant, typically imposing restrictions on how the land may be used (negative covenants) or requiring a certain continuing action (affirmative covenant).

The covenant may be negative or affirmative. A negative covenant is one in which property owners are unable to perform a specific activity, such as block a scenic view. An affirmative covenant is one in which property owners must actively perform a specific activity, such as keeping the lawn tidy or paying homeowner's association dues for the upkeep of the surrounding area.
