for the good job you made for mines. for the amazon fires are a direct consequence of the forestation. we here to colonize the amazon. think we've been to produce. now not know with the build up of our rain forest isn't being destroyed or consumed by fire these are all lies spread by the media i mean.

brazilian president joe your boss in our says the rain forest is intact. but it's not. even after he temporarily banned the use of fire to clear land slash and burn agriculture remains commonplace. amid a greed for property profit and land environmental protection has fallen by the wayside even though science shows that the rain forest is indispensable to humankind. its tree store huge volumes of carbon dioxide and generate rain. was a bit of coordinates a deforestation mapping initiative map your musts. they are muslin of up one of my

rain forest releases more moisture into the atmosphere than the biggest and most water rich river on earth the amazon was what you needed idea but about what it was how much energy would you need to evaporate this amount of water you would need 6 months worth of the entire world's energy supply to heat up the amount of water that the amazon rain forest releases into the atmosphere every single day would you say do you know what that's worth. of the rainforest is worth one trillion dollars to us every day. but since the rain forest services come free of charge such figures aren't factored into any equation the brazilian amazon region comprises 9 states and accounts for almost 2 thirds of brazil's territory. so as a video says the economic potential offered by a healthy rain forest remains largely untapped. experts are alarmed by the damage from its transformation into land for cattle soybeans and other crops they warn the

region is heading for a point of no return after which it will self-destruct. international shipping point. we will soon reach a tipping point he said that means ecological processes will change they will come to a halt. and we won't be able to restore the rainforest he was leading scientists of calculated that the tipping point is reached once 20 to 30 percent of the rain forest area is lost to date we have already lost 20 percent of the original amazon rain forest. for say. one population group in particular is impacted by soaring deforestation people who live in the forest. 'd or in the state around only or near the border with bolivia in a designated protected area for indigenous people 'd 'd ringback ringback. it's

home to that little area wow wow try it out here is one of their leaders. 'd 'd 'd the 19 year old student takes photos of illegal logging activities and reports them to the authorities. and. you. know. it makes me sad to see our forest cut down devastated destroyed and it's a disaster for us. one day even if we can hold on to our territories our culture and our traditions the invaders the stealing our forest the panel.

we don't go invading their homes we pay for the things we need they come in here fell out trees kill our animals steal our fish and once a we do. sometimes we lack the words to express our grief over what is happening here in the indigenous territories. there's so many threats death threats even against our children against entire villages. but we're staying in the forest working and protecting it and we denouncing the criminals. as indigenous people it is our responsibility to continue fighting so that land clearing like this is put to a stop. this is the village of the air wow wow. 'd just 10.

ready criminal lawyers keep entering their territory raising trees and then occupying the land ready ready ready ready. the villagers are preparing for the worst. 'd 'd they feel increasingly abandoned by the authorities the government to slash the budget of its indigenous affairs agency for night and scaled back staff. 'd 'd 'd wonder who may have deforestation has increased dramatically since the new government came into power hydrogen and that it isn't backing our fight against criminal law has you as an indigenous person as a protector of the forest i try to remain vigilant and protect what's mine and want in the future will belong to my children and grandchildren. what i mean. i hear boston r.-o. took office in january 2900 backed by

a coalition including brazil's powerful agribusiness evangelicals and the military he has never hidden his contempt for the left the. dishes see that the. version to read and for indigenous rights. also nora has taken steps to open up indigenous reserves to commercial development. and this has emboldened land grabbers. as they lose in math than of i came that there they just cut down and burn as much as they can. they set their fires and take off their former like recently on the terror russia the program that when we arrived the whole riverbank was on fire. you know where they're destroying our hunting grounds but soon there will be blood. in the bundle they'll be hit by a barrel of arrows i'm reading

a large group of men and i warn you we will have no mercy our chief is ready to go to war. thank you yeah. but jungle patrol the overall air while wild don't carry firearms only bows and arrows like they did when amazon tried suffered under brazil's military dictatorship in the 1970 s. and eighty's. about 100 tribe members living here. they're opponents of rio after both sonora relaxed. the forest and its guardians are suffering under rule. settlers have long been burning the amazon to prepare their fields in the dry season. but the number of fires has increased dramatically. even we look at a whole year and compared 2018 with 2019 from january to september then the fires

have increased by 40 to 45 percent that's significant. but when it comes to deforestation we're looking at a 90 percent increase in the same period. since the conquest of brazil by the portuguese 500 years ago the surface of the huge rain forest area has decreased by about 20 percent. what's alarming is that more than half of this last took place in the last 2 decades. all this was once virgin forest . today the so-called green longs look like those of a chain smoker. the logging won't even if you put a policeman in front of every tree deforestation will only stop if there's an end to the sense of impunity in.

the village of the. always located in the district of campo nova. it's actually a protected indigenous territory at least that's what it says on paper. but not everyone here abides by the law. we asked the local police why don't law enforcement officers protect the indigenous population from invaders. i.q. the last. one what would you going to lead us here in our area we have a special case and a group of illegal land invaders have formed an association to make the exploitation of the indigenous territories and the nature reserves look legal. they invade the reservations they claim to have legal papers and start logging. then they divide the land into plots and sell them. giving. into the areas.

then them. it's a well organized group and. they have lawyers who advise them and even politicians who support them in their actions. and that makes our work more difficult. or you're going to last about. mafia like structures nothing new when crisis ridden brazil. no wonder environmentalist's from the i.c.m. by wants to toot hardly dare to venture outside let alone in front of a camera. it is i mean the invaders threaten the indigenous population. there is the particular case of b. to take an indigenous leader of a politically active association that wants to protect the reserve they get death threats from the land grabbers. or.

death threats or in a city with a population of 2500000 also known as the gateway to the amazon. and it's university girolamo regarding as a leading specialist on land rights. brazil has adopted homeland is originally from italy. he's an expert in agrarian law. the problem in the state of para the amazon region and all of brazil is not a lack of land it's the poor distribution of land that there are some 900000 indigenous people live in brazil there are just 462 protected tribal lands demarcated by the indigenous affairs agency who like qatar today brazil has designated 14 percent of its territory as indigenous territories let me make one thing clear we will not extend these indigenous territories to 20 percent what they

are. are going to do something i think you ought to article 231 of the $988.00 constitution recognizes the rights of indigenous peoples there's no room for debate so the current government's refusal to continue recognizing indigenous territories is a blatant violation of the constitution for their. anthems borders and laws are deuced by immigrants. also nora's ancestors for example came from italy. for a mere 2 of the month i vow to uphold defend and fulfill the constitution. the assimilation and integration was long the strategy pursued by those in power from colonialists to the military junta but also the catholic church. but the church changed tack. and. rebecca spiers as an american not who spent

years and bill a fighting for the rights of indigenous people. she belongs to simi brazil's indigenous missionary council. were. were oracle for fossil presenters as it has never been easy for indigenous people but the last 9 months have seen a marked increase in physical violence in got any villages in the rio grande it all sort of in the far south there were 3 attacks someone night. in the phone north gold prospectors kill the chief and shortly afterwards a 70 indian village in one donia was set on fire and the young man died in a state of gas. so from south to north from east to west everywhere in the country violence is increasing against the indigenous population and the

territories this is author says take it to. the missionary council says 135 indigenous people were murdered in 2018 with the numbers expected to continue rising. in the. large scale slashing and burning is not part of indigenous culture. it's what the invaders do. once they have engine wherever indigenous people live the forest is intact they've got a whole board here in front donia for example it's the same picture inside

indigenous territories the rain forest is protected. a magical save us all. so purely from the point of view of preserving this natural resource which is so vital to the whole of brazil we can say that indigenous people provide a gigantic service by protecting their territories if you go there is with us and the most incredible thing is it doesn't cost us a cent you know the police go by the group. and up all on the legendary trans amazonian highway the town is synonymous with the daily violence in the region. it was here that a land reform system known as the sustainable development projects was launched in early 2000. it aimed to set a level us workers on uncultivated land. sister jane dwyer was here from the outset

together with dorothy stang from the same order. fighting for the rights of the poor sister dorothy came up against powerful landowners who ordered her killing in 2005. occasions. there's only. 18 people have been murdered here since 2015 game where afraid of masochist. so. our presence here is a warning and are these namely out towards a reminder that they can't stop us or did argentina stand mizar presence or even if our power and authority a very limited. if they start killing again we will cry out. and then. the names of the victims. 'd their killers were never identified. they all memoirs none of these murders ever

came to trial so my most the most crazies there are core more or broader we have to note that the supreme judicial council the highest judicial authority in brazil published a report in 2009 which shows that only just over 7 percent of all murders are tried in court. said she was sane and in the state of it's not even 4 percent no cows and no share got a quadruple cent. sister jane regularly makes around say. she visits poor families who are settled here as small scale farmers under the government sustainable development program. the noise is an hourly pager and there's you don't hear a door. i almost this settlement has been has since 2002 it's a blueprint for

a way of life that addresses the realities on the ground in the amazon do you think i go to enough i mean here it was set up by the federal land agency in cal fire line florida same pay that allows families to families in the forests around them intact this way families become the guardians of the forest. the flight asked us funny us. open the c.e.o.'s family road to under poor 18 years ago he's the chairman of the settlement. it's not a carefree job that most of us have a member of our guest last week someone came up to me and told me to be very careful it would be my turn next. month i don't worry so much about myself but i worry about my family when i'm gone but they might get caught up in the

crossfire for. much like the protected indigenous areas there's little respect for these government projects. amid a lack of police presence gangs attack subsistence farmers and take over their land but such settlements are a model of sustainability they bring landless farmers into deforested plots and allow them to use and protect the surrounding forest from the chainsaws of the lumber barons. i sure were paid imagine me doing to say we lost about 270000 euros because of these criminal land grabbers who burned out camp down and stole our wood and we had already sold the lumber to a buyer from l.m. it was a bit a loss for us. africa. studies commissioned by the government show that many plots were acquired illegally. armed gangs of land

robbers known as players with team league use forged documents more but as you say they could be saying the reports show that there are about 100000000 hectares of land in brazil that have been taken over in g.b.s. ways in the state of paranoia the figure is about 30000000 hectares and that means that about a quarter of the land area of para is illegally occupied in the gulf if. the country's main environmental regulator ibama has been severely weakened under president also nor. his environment minister fired 21 of the bombers 27 state superintendents the aim of a deadly is economic development at all costs. you need a permit that takes 10 years even for a tree that's already dead it's virtually impossible to build

a small electrical plant we can't go on like this with these excessive controls by the environmental authorities ybarra and c m b o this only harms the people who want to produce a capital just. today the bombers like a toothless tiger. since the 1980 fines to the tune of some $17000000000.00 euros have been issued for environmental offenses only slightly more than 3 percent of been paid. the most prominent offender was the current president himself who in 2012 was legally fishing inside a nature reserve. he never paid the fine. when the forest is burnt down and cleared farmers bring in their cattle. ranchers in the state of pa alone hold 22000000 cattle. cattle is a vital branch of the economy and agribusiness a strong force in the capital brasilia. more.

near an all time you know where the trans amazonian highway was founded almost 50 years ago. 2 farmers who make no secret of the political convictions have agreed to appear before the camera said very often on this and flavio for assad. they say that after the end of the military dictatorship the region came to a standstill. they don't think highly of the agrarian reforms of past governments of development projects and sustainability. those inciting logging and the biggest polluters are the land agency incra and the catholic church and social movements that seize private land. divide us laws rearm. at times we've had to reach for our guns to drive these people off our property if we tried by legal means we'd still be sitting in front of a pile of paper today we'd have spent

a fortune on lawyers and still wouldn't have a hope of getting our property back what they are people who value their devolved. vigilante justice. the amazon rain forest is huge and it's hard for authorities to exert control. they simply lack the means. the farmers the nice setting fires. but only in sand is clean was that bissau askey those fires was sent by. government opponents was sponsored by n.g.o.s but that's just to spread chaos in our region it's getting get it's. probable that fire the amazon is burning none of it is true. you know we still have the. lives fake news spread by the media. these images were filmed after our exchange with the farmers very close by. rome october 21000

the pope addresses bishops attending the amazon sin and the catholic churches seeking new paths for the church and for intricately college a lot of one goal is to promote nowhere news of the need for environmental protection among the faithful more all the way to. francis the pope from argentina has made inequality in latin america a central theme of his papacy. his desire for a church of the poor has echoes of liberation theology. there . but a kid record as deceptive letters pray for the grace to be able to listen to the cry of the poor their cry is the churches cry of hope.

the cry of the poor is a call to action. one of the bishops here took this called to heart more than 50 years ago. he faced resistance even from within the church. today he is revered as the amazon bishop the austrian quite low voice the good what does that shalt not kill mean nordic. it's not just the story of cain and abel you can also kill by robbing people of their livelihood and home if they're the fish because the it if i do not respect the forest or if i kill the forest by slashing and burning then that is an interference in nature a huge intervention in nature which has consequences for the people who live there the image of god leave. when he arrived in the amazon more than 50 years ago environmental protection was not an issue. there was an attempt on his life and he can't even count the number of death threats he's received. for 13 years he's been

under 24 hour police protection. and then we get there the if that would have been not the real date we had few difficulties in ulta me or a jury in the military dictatorship one knew one had to be careful with certain statements but i never had any trouble with the military along the shingle river or some of the us. but it's a very different story now before you feel persecuted by that because we defending exactly what the government doesn't want if we defend the indigenous people their right to their ancestral lands them we defend the amazon and the government wants to open the amazon up to domestic and international companies. to begin with. it was. a day after the senate ended the

governors of brazilians amazon states met with representatives of other neighboring states and the vatican amounts or the reason talking points included the needs of indigenous people alternative economic models and the rain forest as an income generator. a stark warning came from u.s. biologist thomas lovejoy i think we're right at the tipping point right now oh come on and the negative synergy between deforestation fire and climate change has brought us to this point. and we're pretty sure it's right here and now because we're seeing every 5 years here start droughts in the amazon which we think is the flecked 1st flickering so that tipping point. cattle farming generates enormous quantities of greenhouse gases meat consumption is a driving factor of climate change. rich in biodiversity the rain forest offer

sustainable economic alternatives to cattle ranching. so why is a raised forest worth more than an intact jungle. it's worth more because we don't get money for an intact forest if we destroy the entire amazon today it would grow back again in 40 years it's not easy to destroy the amazon it's very strong all the amazons not going to die will be dead 1st. birthday party at the gomez's house the farmers here are doing well they have cause to celebrate at last they have a president who represents their interests. they all moved here from other parts of brazil. most arrived during the dictatorship when the hunter hatched a plan to colonize the amazon. the generals claimed the rain forest provided foreign powers with avenues to invade brazilian territory.

underboss an oral the knives have been sharpened his talk of foreign powers using the fires as a pretext to interfere in brazil sovereignty has fueled decades of nationalist paranoia. was it done well we live in a wealthy state that is persecuted by all kinds of n.g.o.s by bad mouth aspers illions accusing us of burning down the amazon and became a masonic devise a queue of course by foreign countries or just after our riches our mineral resources. there are always fires in the amazon at this time of year in summer the dry season this is our way of life we burn to produce gave up one of those these foreign scoundrels i'm going to vent now come in here and try to steal our land but we won't leave it to the bandits i'm with. you take care of your country i'll take care of mine plant your trees i'll plant mine you bandits these

foreign powers want to have the say in our country never we won't have it and now. that. bolton are only won the election with the backing of agribusiness now he has to deliver right when it was called the agricultural industry deserves our respect . it's one of the few industries in brazil that successful. the farmer needs legal guarantees his private property must be protected by. the fierce global backlash against the amazon fires and boston are as dismissive approach to protecting the world's largest intact rain forest but the president under pressure. he was particularly irked by the comments from his french counterpart who said the fires amounted to an international crisis. also norell accused emmanuelle michael of having

a colonialist mentality. or. whopper of a president is capitalizing on this to present himself to the world as the lone savior of the environment you are going to start. to feel. more headlines were made when the renowned head of brazil space institute was fired . they got oh god while is an award winning physicist and member of the brazilian academy of sciences as director of the imp a space institute he saw the compilation of satellite data that has tracked arisan amazon deforestation and raised international where news about the problem are readily available monitoring system allow deforested areas to be pinpointed with a high degree of accuracy and help curb deforestation. system which is will this system developed by the in pay was always used with great success by the government

since 2004 under the government of president lula da silva when deforestation reached a peak of more than 27500 square kilometers the in pace system helps reduce the forestation by 80 percent by 2012 to 4200 square kilometers from you it was at school on score drugs. but in 2019 in pe reported a drastic increase in divorce station. much to both scenarios displeasure the data tarnished brazil's image and the president openly question that. here's one test you want as you will resume the information released here for example the input data published yesterday and today are repetitions from past years. who is the guy running this institute. he will have to explain to us here in brazil where he got these figures which we feel do not reflect the truth and which he has passed on to the world media. think you could thank you work for some n.-g. o.

i warn you this was a there's nothing worse for a scientist than being accused of lying of falsifying data especially when the criticism comes from your own president he accused me of being in the service of an international organization called me a traitor to my country i was shocked but it was an attack on brazilian science the dater of the n.p. institute has an excellent reputation all over the world. a former paratrooper balsam doro has appointed a slew of current and former military officers as government ministers since taking office. the military dictatorship from 1964 to 1905 seems more of a model than a deterrent for him. but little wonder then that he responded to the international outcry over the raging fires by sending troops into the amazon. also noro mobilized the military to fight the flames and he issued

a temporary ban on fires. that worked in october 21000 the number of fires fell to the lowest since october 1908 but putting out the flames did nothing to stop logging. illegal deforestation has continued to undiminished pace. we are travelling on the river to us a major tributary of the amazon. alessandra is a 35 year old window to cool activist who left her village to study in the city. she's studying law and sent out i where the top i just flows into the amazon. on weekends when she can take time off for her studies and family she visits the window to cool villages. the lumber mafia soyer barons and gold diggers have made life hard for her tribal brothers and sisters. she has just been to germany where she spoke to a huge gathering at berlin's brandenburg gate on world climate day. i think

she's eager to share her experiences. my whole body of. knots of people support us in moments of gideon's said to be there were tons of kids there kids and young people. more does did you know many don't have a clue about what's happening here in brazil in the amazon they've only had about the fires that are know that the fire is a set by in vegas that they fall. but i saw their heads back toward sun today or next office. where the more dooku are being driven from their ancestral lands by so i plantations here in plain view a reminder of the damage being wrought by commercial development that is forest

deforested jungle. the amazon is crying for help. the rainforest is being sacrificed in the name of progress so the. soyuz loaded for shipping in the port of sent out i. brazil is the world's largest soybean exporter with more than 83000000 tonnes. china's brazil's best customer but europe also by soil here. look at that change you know at 5 our fight is not an easy one we have powerful enemies we may be small but we have big in fact we may be small in size but in the battle we become giants. that fighting spirit is needed to face off against industrial giants like cargo. the u.s. agricultural company dominates the port of sunset on. the brazilian government has approved hundreds of new pesticide products since both sonora took office.

soybean cultivation has also changed the landscape encroaching on the rainforest. europeans should boycott brazilian beef and soy allison prices because they are stained with the blood of the amazons indigenous people. in the us she visits a group of men who cool what she was so i farmers of poisoning their water supply. the young chief joys in an indoor litter to the street. agriculture soya has drastically decreased our life expectancy. mud nothing but mud no one can drink water from our stream anymore no one can do laundry all day it

makes us so angry. we dealing with a nazi government that has no respect for indigenous people. intel nice you we beg the world for help look we need your help. but who should pay for maintaining the world's green lungs. environmental engineer is available from solve pollo has a plan. for mind you just do we will schools do how could we share the costs to preserve such a huge area as the amazon rain forest very simply $1.00 per barrel of crude oil as a levy for the preservation of rain forests and their storage of carbon dioxide if we did that it would generate $100000000.00 a day in a year we'd have $30000000000.00 with that kind of money you could devise a super efficient rainforest preservation program but you don't so have to prove

that you are preserving the trees in the forest what i think what i thought i was. sent out i as a university town with a population of 300000. other sandra's in her 1st semester of law school. as an indigenous person she wants to know her rights is the only way to counter a president who stripped environmental protection and put someone with close ties to agribusiness in charge of the country's indigenous agency. students from various ethnic groups are enrolled in a seminar on human rights. here too i decided to reports on her trip to germany. yes this. is the 1st. no more shag us kma the world only sees the fire as there was a global strike for the climate i was asked to speak in front of 170000 people i've never seen so many people in one place before me that something is changing.

discussions here focus on land distribution and the system of protection for indigenous communities that is in trying to the constitution. it was. now more than ever the amazon needs help. in august 2900 sky's oversell paulo were dark as night at 3 in the afternoon. smoke carried by the wind to brazil's economic powerhouse from fires raging 3000 kilometers away. i was up a mere use to me the amazon and all of our natural resources are a treasure of inestimable value so we must protect them. but there's it. a treasure not valued by brazil's government. as the amazon burns so too does the future of the planet. the region's indigenous people are sending out an s.o.s. . it's an urgent appeal to the world for help and taking action against the flames

and against a president who is allowing the deforestation to continue. a cry for help in the name of mother earth. in a globalized world. where everything is connected. all it takes. to set things in motion a. local hero show how their ideas can change the world. global 3000.

and 30 minutes on d w. the power affords. where i come from i never saw the sun when it did. have been going up in brazil the sun was always a man since the point of his words 1st son it's masculine when i moved to germany as a 10 year old i watched the cartoon on t.v. that would change how i see the world because and i'm on the side of this family. even now but the side of a good to so much time with the fine detail instead of a deep voice exterminate the guy seemed absolutely incredible. i realized how language shapes and thinking how definitions find. not only mental in may just put our whole 1st 10 percent of the world. does inside save my life and was one of the reasons i became a journalist i'm a storyteller and i use my words to how with intercultural in this town because my

name is the one where you and i work and to top people. blame. blame blame blame. blame blame blame blame blame blame blame. blame. just see w. do slide from birth let it be attacked that shock to germany comes to trial a man charged with murder after attacking a synagogue on judaism's holiest day makes clear his views he says i have no problems with religion's but i have with semitism that is what he said to the poor . also come.
