but in terms of their eyes on your floor asked them to see him or even rep with the adult guy actually dives through to choose this mining boom. could lead to the extinction of indigenous communities that have weathered centuries of calamities in brazil's rain forests. roughly 900000 indigenous people live in brazil. the. we belong to 400 tribes and speak more than 270 languages. jo flores is the chief of the moon roof, who dr. marty leads, nearly 14000 members who have splintered into dozens of small villages. they've lived here the thousands of years approached the least immersion to work with us. but at least you might see would almost follow

for my food most could to be seen. logistically see all of us. i grabbed the phone, florida flushed to the presence of florida. thank you much. it's tonya tonya dean. milky meals were in sonya mckellar. he is a that's why, whereas has to create borders, are more commonly known as demarcation is to identify his tribes. indigenous lands . motivated by the surgeon international price of gold. miners choose to prospect for gold and protected reserves to evade taxes. oh, would i? e, no, he johnson that up them. i got up the not you my so i just 3 such sweet

jets. but how could you got a good reading from sonus 112011 bought to actually meet you to press like if you'd like to move in the black mountain prize winning each to permanently evicting a digital people from the land is forbidden. under article 231 of brazil's constitution, but the bolts in our government is planning to build times an infrastructure in the top of your reservation to boost the economy bond with machetes. whereas in his crew, ensure the conservation of 178000 hector's rate forest,

which isn't it, has been the miasma engine that will be gotten a huge band of key after they move to space. so don't get in the legal, it's got incidental that the engine i have to write the car. i'm not, isn't right, but if you're just moist, kayla, i said you problem the forest takes us to one such illegal mining site and i was built right on the top of us river. me know, as we reach an abandoned mining pit, the extent of the devastation can only be gauge from high above me.

ah. kilometer is a protected rain forest are now mere ditches spun, got even to get much political miss lesson from a start to focus on this. and then i feel is that a, you know, i mean that us on sunday or legal legal is i've got to come when you're my case work here. you only can you know, answer my grand manual key. so my friend went to flourish, you will see who could see who the peak of florida from noise, but i put them on more sub losing vision of it. but with little enforcement of the law,

the destruction continues little for cross country where it is to see do you shall my lads, but hey, joyce is welcome. i'm going assume like i love me. hon was indeed nosey. he was on the course read the courses and eyes and i called them a number i was he cause i just saw me. coventry in brazil, mining on indigenous territories is totally prohibitive. the amazon contains about 20 percent of the world's total volume of river water, more than 80 percent of the world's food has its origins in this rain forest. apart from tearing down native forests in miners have also started digging for gold in the rivers contaminating these waterways. with mercury, one of us other more the only fish. because we only show you

fishy chicago. samantha, there wash key is g, julia must. but i must have somebody vis attending network resolution work in a space. ok, but modern must be badge. he broke the shot up front. he fell, noised, best comes, put up with his elementary feel list besotted us about you know, the vice of the neck had jo compare unless you just, you know, is that mighty fis. muscle. mccadden felt that by your eyes they will, he may be a florist, but when you get a miser meant that some whereas in his community can no longer fish in the river. they have to hunt for food on land. research is found. 92 percent of all hair and fish samples collected here at high levels of mercury, resulting and abnormalities in the central nervous system of incense. so

juarez is decided to take things into his own hands as they plan to invade. brazil is congress to pressure politicians to take action. the elite for alexandra cora medea roku indigenous activist is leading the charge. that's because i got the local schools been turned into a makeshift. can i please 151, the roku tribals down to visit brazil's congress to meet politicians and demands

that their lands protected under brazil law. be left alone. what is didn't you didn't you bring for him to where he could you to me. she's talking distemper. defense g, i brought my deed in a good, you gotta you put them in the papers in the coding to brazil's national institute for space research in 2018 alone, 5 square kilometers of indigenous men. roku land was deforested in 2019 the tree massacre increased to 15 square kilometers. the next day the tribe prepares for battle. they believe also narrows. rhetoric has encouraged the advance of the mind

is deeper into indigenous territory. the moon roku arrive at brazil's congregation. the main legislative body of the country this movement is helped by the countries only indigenous congress wouldn't join, you know what each other she's only the 2nd inter, just woman to have ever been elected to congress. she made a little guy the little has the best part was in jesus still jude age. he is only a phone call. she was to amount to more than $590.00 for congress representatives. only 3 show up. so i think allison dra makes an impassioned plea for the right to them when

i was in the law. and it seems to me still not bad or anything. i've been asked about what that's and it is a no, i mean that also know that if they're mac up so that i think they're math so no, as these who may obey noisy to the new module as we do you me today. the deforestation and the amazon claims an area the size of 2 football fields a minute. if consumption patterns don't change, 50 percent of the amazon may banish by 2030, destroying one of the world's largest carbon sinks, protecting existing rain forests, and aggressively planting new ones. maybe the only way forward, and perhaps one of the last few ways to help save this plan and call it home. ah,
