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 too can be in the stream. now i brought in 3 guests to talk about this topic today, and i'm going to ask them to introduce themselves. we'll start with mia mikki. tell us a little bit about yourself. thanks, josh. well, i'm a reporter and i've been covering brazil with

a 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. me, andrea. hello everyone. my name is andre, i represent an n g o. in brazil college opa, which works for the special ed is no direct grey and elise. i will thank you so much for following writing us in your extra i should be, which is also and then to also in the, in metro grosso as well. and we go to each one of the state that moved this one, 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.

while that's still true, as we heard from the log to 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, ads the lens 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 growth 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 and you see fields of wheat, of sugar, of cotton of soy. so it's very deserted at some point is 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 for me, but for providing oxygen. and right now the one person who has a lot of influence on that as far as boston are, i want to bring him in here just for a moment. so it's going to have rising inflation, feature shortages, farms being simply destroyed for reservations or others being displaced by reservations and unable to be more productive. we look to the responsibility of the supreme court, which is very important for us. my separate or give us all the andre we sit back

and see that those kind of global resources in the hands of president bolton are on to a certain extent. that just real quickly because maybe a lot of our audience, we have a large international audience. does it follow bazillion politics? can you set up multiple 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. he's the representative, ultra right wing and he's got a lot of onto democrats, ideas and ideologies. and this, this clip actually measures his view on the, the amazon. what is the amazon for him? he's point of views is for production is for progress, quoting, but he doesn't consider the diversity of life in the amazon

and not the 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 mega 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 being forced by some specific groups 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 i media. the women says the women's mart march against against the bushel. now you can see him there in this picture, and against the easiest 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, right? solving dizziness, people, 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

8988. hey, audrey, and i can see at least want to jump in. yeah, jumped up in here. i'm going, hey, before you do least, can i use a video clip though, because i love that we were bringing up in digital 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 bobbo. she's an indigenous leader. check this out to do market. 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 bio diversity to market territory is to guarantee the breathing of the planet. and i'm going to bring in a comment from twitter. this is someone who follows there that says the indigenous groups are correct. they had characters left over. that's a short tweet, but a strong point lease can, can you, what were you going to tap into say that?

so, so this was so inspiring. but it's varying by and she was actually saying what i wanted to, to add to add that we know that indigenous people actually protecting the loan. if you look at the map, you are going to see green island where into just 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 years. no. but we actually have the tool or the institution, the 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 can use that, 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 deforested. 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 his 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 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. i mean, i don't know if you can see it,

but both you and at least you're 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 you can see it's green inside of them. brownish spots already spots, show deforest the 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 in the genus people's people who do not stay silent. when they're lens are invited, if not because the rules are more respected than 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're 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. so 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 4. 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, the dread jumping out of here here. yeah. go for thank you me. yeah. wow. yeah. 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, in curbing the deforestation. and actually there are, if you, if you take the indigenous length and all of their protected areas, just for example, national parks and other kinds of reserves. you would have around 40 percent of the emerson by young, legally protective. and but despite of that feasible scenario was elected, we've seen a lot of deforestation inside these lands as never before. i think he owes area of the force, 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,

swords 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, i'm sorry. i didn't know. are you to comment at 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 we know them all revive. i can say solution and we get on on the

so we need to be productive. we need to, we may need to, we may need when children need production, but we also need to brain and cater our grain and talk about the amazon being the love 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 to being fast. and actually we have seen that happening right now because it is going to have belly very deep and curious, watch on prizes. 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 are in some cases. can that ever be reversed? can i just add just that maza? last year in july and june, put out a report saying that brazil was facing the worst drought in a century. please happening already, but can it be reversed in the savannah, be turned back into reinforce, do we even know we can, we can plan straight. and it's, we already all 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 not a solution to see fire, to see different station to see legality. or the very best thing happening in the, in the love in there at the local level. so i don't

see the issue that 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 that nature, you don't have culture. the traditional knowledge, it 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, you know, and so i want to bring in one more voice here guys, and then we'll come back to louisiana 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. mental and course men 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 them and he'd fight before station and a couple weeks ago, his environment minister and now the increasing resources for environmental law enforcement, the international community to continue pressuring both on our for concrete measure for both that is reducing deforestation. not just the contrast to me to the climate 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 over government had sabotaged environmental law enforcement from the beginning. i also want to bring in a you to 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 write and all they have an image of the woman and the 1st female newton is person to become a member of parliament, a member of congress in brazil. i think that's very important also the 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 him. 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, yes, this was actually the, the biggest and most protest ever in recent times in brasilia, despite of the pandemic. 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 to argue 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 nothing force 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 needs protection. and that's one of the things that the region is can fight for very important create these islands. one of these

islands of just something i wanted to add it's, i think it's also about democracy. you know, as the people are living in very remote and where like to go to buy media, i think i'm sure i have to travel like 234 days and by boat, by playing by, by roads. but it's a very, it's very difficult when you're new, very, very 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 bugs in kidney. but also as me, i was saying and for international consumers 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 panels, if it, well, it was, it 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 not, it was not really listening to my call or my girl have to say, so i don't think so. you don't think so. what about konami 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 ended there and me, 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

. when freedom of the printer is under threat, you know, you just can't talk genuinely about your thoughts towards the making government step outside the mainstream. there has been a implement here. some of access points, the internet shift, the focus, the panoramic that's turned out to be a handy little pretext. the prime minister to clamp down on the press covering the wave. the news is covered. the listening post on i just i prefer to see things for myself to look at things, not through the lens of politics, but through the lens of humanity. the i've been to the playground where to mere rice was shot and killed. i've been to the streets of ferguson. i

protest, i've seen the anger and frustration of so many americans. but what was most clear was the desire for change. you can see black lives matter transforming from hash tag to a movement. ah, being a journalist is about listening to people and understanding where they're coming from, following a story, no matter how long it takes or where i'm christian. ah, it's been the meet the young river traders of resume. they can neither read nor run that they know how to camp they're really dangerous

and get back with their he'll do anything just to christine. you know, when else? ah, i don't is pledge $1000000000.00 and $8.00 for i've got to stop but the un warm future economic collapse is still possible. aah! and money inside this is alan, is there a lie? was coming up. your bizarre. a betting a bug room feel lead directly to 13 right, marines murdered. cobble you should resign. a grilling from politician sex. your state to be blank in defense.
