yuri torres was our guide on this journey into the reserve - he now makes his living by helping people experience the breathtaking beauty of the rainforest. he knows the forest so well he spots a saddleback tamarin monkey with a baby on its back during our interview but torres used to make his living off the jungle as a gold miner. >> when i worked as a miner, you don't really care about the forest, honestly. >> torres' father and his brothers still make their living - as illegal gold miners. >> and do you talk to them about the dangers, about the environment? >> yes, i do, it's a big deal. >> do you worry about your father and you brothers as miners? >> yes, i do. i worry about everyone in my family... if they don't mine, what are they doing to do? >> its very sad. sad beyond words. we are talking of some of the most biologically diverse forests on earth. places where you could spend two full hours watching just what's taking place on one branch of one tree, and the way the light of the sun shines on different things as time passes by. and in some way you become better because of that
