instead of acting as the enormous thing for atmospheric c o 2, that at once did human activity in the base and now result in $300000000.00 tons of carbon being admitted to the atmosphere every year. or concerning still, or areas in the southeastern portion of the base. and we're even intact for us are now admitting more carbon than they absorb this breakdown and the carbon cycle is clear evidence that the entire amazon is on the verge of collapse. if we don't immediately halt deforestation and expand efforts at reforestation, we're going to lose the entire amazon while we're going to lose entire amazon. look, if you're watching this on youtube, can you help me out? see that box over there. there's a live stream producer there waiting for your comments to get them to meet so i can use them in the show and you to can be in the stream. now i brought in 3 gas to talk about this topic today, and i'm going to ask them to introduce themselves. we'll start with mia mikki and

tell us a little bit about yourself. thanks josh. well, i'm a reporter and i've been covering brazil. we focus on indigenous rights and the conservation of the amazon, amazon. i was actually feel producing problems during the amazon fire is in 2019 right. thanks for being with us, mio, andrea hello, everyone. my name is andre. i represent an n g o. in brazil, college opa, which works for the defense salvages no dregs, gray and elise, i thank you so much for following writing us and i nice your extra i should be, which is also. and then you also in this, in my to grosso, as, and we met one of the state. that's more this one of these key. great. all right, well let me, let me ask you the amazon's been referred to for years as the lungs of our planet,

meaning it sucks in all the c o 2 and it puts out oxygen. that's still true. well, that's still true. as we heard from dr. chris for it's reaching a tipping point where even though most of the amazon is doing fact, then it stops having those capabilities, which is of course, would be a tragedy for the whole world. but while when we were there, when i was there and i was part of the team on the ground there, i think what shocked me the most was that, right? someone who i mean going to the amazon is not something that everyone does and what we hear about it when we see about it are those lush green until the horizon fields full of these have really amazing habits. that's the length of our planet. like you said, but then when you get there and you see full patches of the amazon completely destroyed, ashes falling down, falling down from the sky. and at some point in some of the places like much gross

where the production, the industries are very strong there. you can see it's a desert, so in, so instead of seeing trees up until the arise when you see fields of wheat, of sugar of cotton of soy. so it's very deserted at some point, very windy because of that very dry because of that. and so it's not really what you expect to picture, and it's not really healthy to see the amazon in that said, yeah, i think of amazon is this global resource, but not for providing food from providing oxygen. and right now the one person who has a lot of influence on that as president boston, are, i want to bring him in here just for a moment. so it's going to be we'll have rising inflation, future shortages, farms being simply destroyed for reservations or others being displaced by reservations and unable to be more productive. we looked to the responsibility of

the supreme court, which is very important for us. so that all my separative us or the andre, we sit back and see that there's kind of global resources in the hands of president bolton are up to a certain extent, that just real quickly because maybe a lot of our audience, we have a large international audience doesn't follow bazillion politics. can you set up malta? normal force a little bit, talk a little bit about him and then maybe respond to the clip that we just saw. yeah, watson ira was elected in 2018 in brazil, teaser he represents the old pro right wing and he's got a lot of onto democrats, ideas and ideologies. and this, this clip actually measures he's view on, on the, the amazon. what is the amazon for him? he's point of view is for production is for progress, quoting,

but he doesn't consider the diversity of life in the amazon and not he doesn't because he did the community more than 24000000 people that actually lives in the amazon. and probably most people don't know, but we have more than 300 different ethnic groups that live in the amazon, which is a region of my go make a bio diversity. and most of the knowledge that there is in the amazon. we don't go, we don't have a clue on the potential of all human resources and ecological resources that, that actually the whole life depend on. so he is view is enforced by some specific drill which are not the majority of the brazilian

population. and he's referring to a judgment that is going on in brazil you can see the images that the women. a the women's march against against the bushel. now you can see him in this picture and i guess displeases that does not consider the rights of indigenous peoples if they weren't on the land before the brazilian constitution, which was in the 5th of 1988. so the rule sector, the, are together with both scenario and other politicians are defending, are defending the species of not considering the land rights. i mean dizziness, peoples, which is against our constitution. and also only only defending that

they are entitled to be where they are. they were born if they work before 81988. hey, audrey. and i can see at least want to jump in. yeah, jumped up in here. i'm going, hey, before you doing, we can i use a video clip though, because i love that we were bringing up the indigenous people who lived there, particularly the women who lived there. i'd like to centered them in this conversation right off the top. so we have one from cecilia, shotwell bob, she's an indigenous leader. check this out to demarcate. indigenous land is to the market and guarantee the life of humanity itself. we are 5 percent of the world's population, but we protect around 83 percent of the world's biodiversity to the market territory is to guarantee the breathing of the planet. and i'm going to bring in a comment from twitter. this is the only follow here that says the indigenous groups are correct. they had characters left over. that's a short tweet, but

a strong point elise can, can you? what were you going to say that? so, so this was so inspiring. but it's very inspiring, and she was actually saying, what i wanted to, to, to add is that we know that indigenous people actually protecting the loan. if you look at the map, you are going to see green island, where indigent people territory is. so it's very important to also send that invoice. we know how to, to, to reduce deforestation. and we have done it in the last decade and we asked things. so going to wall different station rates in the last 5, you know, that we actually have the tool or the institutions and capacity to do that. so it's

very about political will and making, making it happen. actually, if you don't mind me adding a couple of things, you actually took a new study that just came out from i think it's the bomb, which is also a nice. it's huge. since if you use it, you focus on the atmosphere and see says that in the last 36 years, while 20 percent of the amazon has been destroyed, only 1.6 percent of indigenous lands have been forces. so this shows how indigenous plans are much, are protecting the amazon while the rest of the land is actually like of no man's land where no rules apply. well, there are rules, but they're not in force because there is not enough people to enforce them because the power in these regions in these very remote regions. and that's one thing we have to beecher. it's a place where almost no one goes, are in the hands of the industry. and another thing you,

you show the map which shows the, the, in the land hold on just a 2nd. i just want to tell our viewers. i have this map pulled up on our computer right now back to me. i don't know if you can see it, but both you and at least are talking about this map. we see a lot of brown dots and then we see kind of areas that are circled off in reg, use, explain what we're seeing here. sure. so the areas in red, the lines, the reds are showing the indigenous lands. the indigenous plans that have been recognized by the government and are protected. and then as you can see, it's green inside of them. rami spots already spots, show deforested areas. so it's specifically on the south and on the, on the southern end of the amazon southern and eastern where well, it's mostly, most of the roads are built and everything like that. you could see that in some areas, the frustration stops right at the border of indigenous land. so you can see, you can see they are exactly islands of conservation. and that's because inside of

indigenous land or indigenous peoples, people who do not stay silent when their lens are inverted. it's not because the rules are more respected and the actual business respect these borders the most. it's because inside of them, there are indigenous people that do not allow and are very strong in condemning, and denouncing and protesting where they are. lens are and are invaded and before that. so it's not just something that's on the map. it's also the voices of indigenous people that are very important. and just one thing about just like to add to what i said earlier, that both nato looks at the amazon as a resource to use and not a treasure to protect, which is absolutely correct, but also important to know for our international audience. most of all is that it's not only both. so now this happens with political powers in the us and europe. and i just have your recent study that was published in science magazine in july last

year. show that 22 percent of all of the soy and brazil is the number one export to so i so 22 percent for that is exported from brazil is actually coming from illegal deforestation. and this is not being produced in brazil, and it consumes being used for consumers outside of brazil. so it's also important for police go actors outside of the country to start having some kind of resources for the consumers. and you know, not to allow and have a product that's coming from the amazon illegally. so of course that brazil has a huge responsibility in protecting it, but also us as consumers outside of reveal have to it's very easy to point fingers when we're outside, but we're also playing apart in the forcing address. jumping out of here here. go for. thank you, me. yeah, i was speaking and before we pass through this illegal, illegal logging issue and illegal deforestation,

which is one of the specialties of l u. c. c. she will probably speak on that. i would like to highlight that despite these, these very important role of being juveniles, lance, in brazil and curbing the deforestation. and actually there are, if you, if you take the indigenous lands and all of their protected areas, just for example, national parks and other kinds of reserves. you would have around 40 percent of the amazon by legally protectors. and but despite of that, she moved from arrow was elected. we've seen a lot of the fire station inside these lands as never for i think he was there. and we of the for the size of indigenous land since both. and i was elected 20 percent. what is, is even more concerning is that the,

when you, when you look at the areas where there are isolated, tried the deforestation, sword, more than $200.00 sense in the last years. so this is even more concerning because these tribes are, are, have, have, they have had no contact with our society. and there is a policy, a national policy in brazil that says they have the right to, to keep at a distance if they want to contact, they are free to do contact when they feel it's important. hey andrea, i want you to comment that you ok. someone's pushing back on you to name sebastian county says the world is for the humans. plants have lived long enough. indigenous peoples of the amazon need to join our society and be productive. and most of them are and i do them all revive. i can say

solution and we get on the so we need to be productive. we need to, we may need to, we may need, we, children need production. but we also need a grain. and, and these 2 are grain. you talk about the amazon being the lug of the of the planet. i would say the amazon is literally pumping water. so if we low a few lowes, the amazon in the amazon rain forest switch to a savannah for instance, which is basically what the tipping point about. we're going to have a lot less rain and all of that is being produced in brazil. it's going to being fast, and actually we see that happening right now because it is going to

a very, very deep and curious watch a crisis. so let me ask you this, cuz here's what i'm. one of the things i'm worried about is that as we take away the trees and that takes away some of the water there in the land become savannah even does or in some cases, can that ever be reversed? can i just add just that mazda last year? in july and june, put out a report saying that brazil was facing the worst drought in a century. it's happening already. but can it be reversed? can the savannah be turned back into reinforce, to even know we can, we can plan 3. and it's, we already on the planet is trying to plant a lot of trees, but it's not going to be the same. and you know, for people that are actually living in the amazon, it's kind, it's, it's not a solution to see fire, to see different station to see legality. or the very best thing that's happening

in the, in the love in there at the local level. so to me, i don't see the issue there. i want to, i'd like to bring in some, some other elements which, which is the cultural elements. so planting trees. of course it is an option, but it won't solve the problem as a nice was saying, because we, if you don't have the nature, you don't have culture. the traditional knowledge depends on the, in the existence of bio diversity on, on a logical processes that cannot be substituted by a bunch of trees. you know, so this is a matter of looking to the future with responsibility and not looking to,

to today to the present only. yeah. and so i want to bring one more voice here, guys. and then we'll come back to this luciana chavez. she's an environmental researcher, human rights watch and she's looking at the way while center is enforcing or not enforcing the environmental laws that are there on the books. currently, a law enforcement from our research even shows that his administration suspended payment for environmental fine for a year, but he's not immune to international pressure. inviting climate on the flesh. he'd fight before station a couple weeks ago, his environment minister, and now the increasing resources for environmental law enforcement. the international community needs to continue pressuring both on our for concrete measure for both that is reducing deforestation not to put for the contract, needed crime and commitment, and pack them into unity for violence of our mental defenders trying to protect the amazon. or if you got to have a fall that she was saying though that the both of our government had sabotaged

environmental law enforcement from the beginning. i also want to bring in a youtube comment here that this is for more and as chris and ask, what kind of tools if any, do these indigenous people have to fight this? yes, josh, if you don't mind me answering the 1st part of the question, when i, when i was in brazil, one wilson, i was elected. and you could see in the immediate shift on how this is a small example of how the government reacted to journalists before that, all of the environmental ministries any, did you send bodies responded to journalists and were very happy to help. and after that, it was complete silence. i think the tools that indigenous people can use our political representation. they right now they have an image and a woman and the 1st female maintenance person to become a member of parliament, a member of congress in brazil. i think that's very important also what they're doing right now, protesting and everything,

but just going back once more. i think it's very important for international consumers to also understand that we cannot continue to feed and clothe and fuel the rest of the world through the amazon because we're going to completely destroy and yeah, maybe i'd like one of you guys to walk us through this protest and what was significant about it and maybe even what was difficult about where they burned that puppet. a balls not narrow. so i'm going to show some images on my computer while i andrea, can you talk to us through this? yes, this was actually the biggest induce most growth us ever in recent times in brazil, despite of the damage. so it demanded a lot of organization and security. and they were very, very successful in pressuring the supreme court and reaching out their voices for the rest of the brazilian society.

so they are using this movement are every day improving their capacity to manage projects to manage a conflict. and you are you and to do political representation and to, to, to defend their rights themselves. and they are, i think they're told me, which is, which is just brilliant. and we have to have to recognize who they are, thomas, they, they are responsible for, for, for the solutions on the ground. so dinner is also very important to see that on the ground, they are find the solutions for the severity of the climate or do not enforce much of the of the environmental law. and i forgot to say, but i think it's very crucial is that not all indigenous lens are official. so

there is a lot of land in the amazon that you needs protection. and that's one of the things that the engine is, can fight for very important create these islands while these islands are just something i wanted to add it's, i think it's also about democracy. you know, those people are living in very remote and where to go to but i think i'm sure i have to travel like 234 days by boat, by playing by, by roads. but it's a very, it's very difficult when you're new, very, very remote, nice to be in the democracy and what, and since we are in such a deep democratic aquatic crisis, it's very important that people seed in the bus in kidney. but also, as i was saying, and for internet and consumers and to see that the need to act also

to protect the people that are protecting the forest is protecting the climate does not respond to international pressure. the panel, if it, while it was, was from the drop administration, he kinda did. but now he does. and especially with the microsoft agreement which has to do with the exports of amazon productions for the products. it was clear that amazon, that's also and i was not really listening to what my call my girl had to say. so i don't think so. you don't think so. what about? no, you cannot pressure i agree with me. yeah. it seems that he pretends to, to hear if, if the reaction comes quickly, but then i, andre, i got to end it there and, and at least i want to thank you guys so much for joining us. that's all the time

we have on today show. thank you for watching and until next time we'll see you on the street. ah . take the worst possible material uranium. grind it into dust comparable to flour and make a whole lot of it and put it into a place where people live picking up in the line. for many pupils, this is a silent dealer. what does it make you feel like you feel like a murder? we have created an enormous environmental disaster and investigation, south africa, toxic city on al jazeera. there are some things you can never forget. and there are scenes which will be etched in your memory forever. in syria,

we documented atrocities. and in the northern city of a level, we witnessed something, we will never unsee the bodies bound and executed their hands, tied gunshot wounds to their heads were bad enough, but watching the relative identify their loved ones. that's one of the hardest things i've ever done. as hard as it was, we had and needed to film because maybe one day those responsible can and will be held to account. it is an honor, but at the same time it is a challenge to do this job. to bear witness to history, as it's made to make sure what is recorded is accurate and truthful. i'm then other al jazeera recounts the shocking story of the assassination of counts full cabana dot. the 1st you an envoy,

trying to bring peace to the middle east. how is negotiations with himmler health, save thousands of jews from nazi concentration camps and how these mediation skills put him at the vanguard in the quest for peace in the middle east? killing the count on algebra. ah. an economy on the verge of collapse pledges more than a $1000000000.00 have been made through the un to help. i've got to stop. ah hello, i'm down, jordan, this is out there. a lie also coming up in the 1st visit to the egypt. fine israeli prime minister and a decade natalie bennett holds towards the gypsies.
