- The destruction of Brazil’s rainforests may have passed the point of no return. Its perpetrators aren’t just far-right government officials and industrial farmers, however. Voracious consumers everywhere are fueling demand that may collapse the “lungs of the Earth.”

MY QUESTION IS !!!
WHY PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE OF BRAZIL THAT NEVER LIVED HERE ARE SO INTERESTED IN A LAND THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM OR TO THE WORLD FOR THAT MATTER AND NOW THEY ARE SO INTERESTED IN THIS PLACE?
DON'T TELL IS BECAUSE THEY WANNA SAVE THE LAND OF THE AMAZON FOR THE WORLD BECAUSE THAT IS A LIE ! THE AMAZON DOES NOT PRODUCE THE OXYGEN OF THE WORLD !! THE OCEAN AND THE ALGEA DO THAT JOB ! SO THE ONLY THING IS THEY ARE INTERESTED IN THE LAND AS MUCH AS THE PEOPLE THEY ACCUSED TO BE GETING THE LAND TO FARM !
THE POINT IS WHY PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE THINK THEY CAN COME HERE IN BRAZIL AND TRLL US WHAT TO DO WITH THAT BUNCH OF LIES AND NARRATIVES !!
You did not explain why we are close to the 'tipping point'. How did you calculate where the tipping point is? Also I checked that the rate of deforestation of Amazon is around 11k square km a year. Now that is less than 0.05% of the Amazon rain forest. So that is hardly even an issue right? I am not arguing - I want to know what is wrong in my interpretation?
"Stolen" by whom? Amazonia is developing taking people from below poverty line into progress and development, I know foreigners would love to see it a desert as they usually leave it or really backwards.
@@veerkar The "tipping point" is if there is oil so the Americans can try to invade under false pretext.
@@mpmmobile4937 I think you need to do some more research Yes the ocean and Algae and seaweed do produce most of her oxygen but so does the trees But please do more research before you start commenting on something you don’t have no clue about
how ironic is that nowadays a cup of coffee costs several dollars while the farmers who plant them are shockingly poor. WIth that being said, now the people who drink coffee everyday points the finger to the poor farmers in these underdeveloped countries and accuse them destroying the forest.
Well if you take in account than almost none of Brazilian Coffee is produced in the Amazon Region (Less of 1%) there´s a reason why these farmers are poor. It´s because they are producing coffee in the middle of nowhere, without the means to export it and with a subpar product.
Ask a coffee farmer in São Paulo or Minas Gerais if they are poor.

Why is it a problem that the farmers who produce them are shockingly poor? When you eat bread, how do you treat the plant or the yeast that died to make that bread? That is how nature works. The strong eat the weak. Stop fighting the natural order. Why waste time or energy trying to balance the scales when nature is going to dominate you anyway.
@P4to D0l4n yes over 120 years ago.
São Paulo and Minas are agricultural powerhouses since the Imperium.
São Paulo with Coffee and Minas with Milk and cattle this is the reason São Paulo is the richest state and Minas the second richest.
São Paulo still is the State who earn more money with agriculture in Brazil.

"We're still here., we are not going anywhere." ~ Indigenous Amazon Native American people
May I ask, why don't they all have a family reunion on their very own land of Portugal, in Europe, and return the looted land to the original rightful owner, indigenous Native American people? Slavery, Colonialism & Colonization are evil things done, and benefited by evildoers.
All they, indigenous Native people need is their beloved motherlands back, the lands that their ancestors' forebears had lived through thick and thin, endured through hardships and all for tens of thousands of years.
Remember, notorious centuries-long global cardinal crimes that the West had committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 🤔
For truths, pls read my insightful multi-pages 'Ole Fella' comment on UA-cam at., "China-US tensions: A closer look at the Five-Eyes intelligence partnership / CGTN"
The video starts... "The Amazon forest is one of the largest if not the largest rainforest in the world..." What is the doubt? The Amazon rainforest is ca. 5 million km², about 40% larger than the second-largest, the Congo rainforest.
Well you see they are burning it so it may not be.
only 4% larger by next year
@@snowfox780 last year 20.234 sqkm of the Amazon Rainforest burned, this equals to 0,36% of the entire forest, the Congo rainforest have a deforastation rate of 0,3% per year in a much smaller area.

Most of those poor farmers don't even own the land the owners of those big lands are those rich hacienderos while the farmers are being paid scraps.
@@left4deadian agree to that .cause those hacienderos are mostly politicians & oligarchs in the industry, they also buy ancestral lands of some tribal people then employ those people to work on the land that they used to own, thinking that they earned but actually they are scammed cause they don't know monetary value.

Having worked in eastern Ecuador I have experienced this first hand. The overwhelming problem with encouraging development of these lands is that they are of little or no use to agriculture. Although initially viewed as teeming with life and vitality, as soon as they cut and burn the jungle and plant they find that the ground quickly pays out, and soon will not support a crop. This is not new news. I have seen the smoke from the slash and burn farmers as they keep moving deeper and deeper into the jungle as the soil plays out after a couple of crops. Eventually they will meet the settlers from Brazil as they all close to a common point in the middle of the continent. These are just poor people trying to feed their families. It is an economic problem causing an ecological disaster.
@@hwvrg what, the, freack
I'm Brazilian.
Brazil has 63% of native forest preserved.
Brazil has one of the most efetive laws to preserve the nature.
Why the other countries talk a lot about my country, but no one has his own example of preservation?
all country should pay trillion dollars to Brazil for maintaining amazon forest
This land belongs to the indigenous people and to millions of species of animals, burds, insects and plants who originally lived there long before the European settlers came and dediced to call it Brazil. I know that the descendants of the European settlers who were born there feel that Brazil is their land, their property, but cmon guys, this land belongs to indigenous people, the Amazon rainforest is their HOME, they know how to live in harmony with the rainforest, why are you destroying their HOME???? Just because they cant protect themselves and their home????? The Brazilian government is corrupted and irresponsible, like many other governments though.... There are ways to live in harmony with the rainforest. Brazil has deforestated enough land, just stop deforestation and reasonably use the land that you have already claimed from the forest.
We can't demand another country to stop using their resources because it's their country. So, unless we pay for them not to cut the forest, I don't see why they would stop.
As a Brazilian, this is terrible, and even worse: it's the progression of Brazilian history as we know it since 1500, with extractivism draining natural resources and destroying the environment.
First, we had sugar cane plantations, which wiped out most of the Northeastern coastal forests.
Then, mining, especially gold but also diamond and silver, became a thing in Minas Gerais (Southeast) and the region's Atlantic forest has lost most of its original area.
After some time, the coffee plantations in São Paulo (just south of MG) became the nail on the coffin of the Atlantic forest.
Also, Southern Brazil has some fields and pampas, which were deforested in mass to make cattle herding, profitable in these areas, a huge business in this area.
Beef production, together with soy plantations in the following case, also contributed to a lot of deforestation in the cerrado, the Brazilian savana (which borders the Amazon btw).
Now, we're here. I won't say that hope is lost: there is still a lot of preserved area here, even after deforestation. And we can replant in many areas where export-oriented agriculture dominates.
From this, we can see that the Amazon is the next (and only) target. There are the Northeastern semiarid areas (more inland), but they lack infrastructure, even for basic needs (poverty is strong there), and the climate is not favourable.
We need to change the course of our history from a resource export giant to a more sustainable, preserved, self sufficient and developed country.
Bolsonaro's policies are ignorant of the situation, unwise and unfit, but they're a symptom much more than the main cause of deforestation. Looking back at history, just like I said, makes us see how we got here, and what we need to change in the economy to avoid destroying the environment, both the Amazon and other biomes.
Next time you are having a barbecue, its your fault Amazon forest is getting deforested. What a spin and need to make feel ordinary people guilty. Instead of throwing guilt on people how about USA goverment actual does something about it, when you suddenly care so much. Its Brazil's forest, they can do the whatever they want with it. if you want to fix it you better offer them better alternative how to get out of poverity. Telling Brazil to stop using their natural resources is like telling USA to stop using their natural resources and shutting down their biggest companies. If your solution is telling people to stop buying things, you might as well ask Santa on Christmas. Unless Brazil has alternative to make more money in other way and they see value in keeping Amazon forest intact and protected, it wont happen.
Exactly!!! We must expect responsibility and accountability from our governments instead of "you should use metal straws"
The same thing is happening in Brazil that has already happened in the rest of the developed world. Look at a satellite image of Europe. Pretty much all of it used to be forested, but throughout the centuries it was cut down to make room for agriculture and industry. This is no different. It makes clear what a fool’s errand it is to try to stop it. They clearly see the wealth of the more developed places and want their piece of the pie.
Rainforest is more important than most other forest. There’s much more biodiversity.
@@uhohhotdog If Europe was rainforest it would've been cut clear.
We Brazilian don't know what it's like to be a victim of colonialism for the most part. But I can finally sympathize with the felling of being regard as inferior at all points. No national in this world can judge Brazil for dis-forestation. Do you know what is like to be told half of Brazil is not Brazilian's sovereignty. It belongs to the world. It says countries with the most strict immigration policy, that devastated their own forest and don't give a cent to the world.
I can understand as well how Palestinians still fight with Israel even though they have no chance of winning. They probably have a feeling so strong in their guts of Injustice, disgust, despair with so much injustice and humiliation that they can't swallow any kind of deals. I'm mean it's just sad to think about it.
@@oseiassilvadossantos4709 I'm not brazillian but I think that in order for everyone to be happy, the world's governments needs to pay a tax to keep the land from being snatched up, atleast a little bit or make it easier for Brazilians to travel to other countries and make money. Because at the end of the day, the rainforest needs to be saved and the people need socio-economic mobility. So something must be done. Either we do it now or we all pay the consequence.
@@noelb684 there are so many things people/countries could be doing themselves to add up some sort of contribution right now. But they rather go full charged criticizing others. while themselves don't even have put their own house in order.
Wonderfully balanced and documented report. I just visited the "Amazônia" exhibit in Paris. It is a beautiful collection of images which Sebastião Salgado shot there over a period of six years.
I am now 56 years old, when I was born Brazil had just over 80 million inhabitants, today it has over 220 million, and they all want to make a living, as decently and honestly as possible. Put simply, this is the main reason, if not the only one, which is causing deforestation, in this country and elsewhere.

Simply, green financing is a loan or investment that supports environmentally-friendly activity
Climate finance is a subset of environmental (green) finance. Sustainable finance is therefore the broadest term, covering all financing activities that contribute to sustainable development.
Green finance instruments are becoming more popular as companies seek to reduce their carbon footprint. 8:35
While the roots of green finance can be traced back to the 1970s, the tipping point of the sustainability movement didn't come until 2015, with the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement.

"Everywhere you look l, you see coffee plantations, and cattle ranches, and you have thousand and thousands of farmers who have been living on this land that they don't have title to."
What did you say!????
The government of Brazil, explicitly or implicitly,, directly or otherwise, gave permission to its citizens to go and grab these lands. Even if there is no permission granted, these BRAZILIAN citizens did receive amnesty from their government. The Amazon is their land, and they have every right to cultivate it in ways that will enhance their lives financially, and boost their country's overall economy.
Let's not forget what the Americans did in the long 19th century. They had their "Southern plantations," "Manifest Destiny," "Gold Rush," etc. So, don't you come in here preaching about grabbing lands and environmental BS, when you had, and still have, it rampant in your country.

And what about US and Europe's forest? So it's a typical, I can, you can't scenario. If Brazilian don't clear the Amazon, how are they going to raise livestock, grow food or plant forest like what US & Europe did?
We don´t need this brazilian farms are almost all outside of the forest just look at the map, almost all of the farmland here is from Mato Grosso to Rio Grande do Sul, the Amazon rainforest is from Mato grosso and up.
@P4to D0l4n Not true, the northeast of Brazil still have plenty of land really cheap, I bought 6 hectares for less than US$10.000 this year in Bahia less than three hours from Salvador.
In the past 20 years 600.000 people migrated to the Amazon region less than half of that settled in the rural region.
Do you think someone in Santa Catarina, São Paulo, Salvador willgive up everything to buy land (With money they didn´t have) and start over in the Amazon?, or just move to a big city and try a new job earning way more than a farmer?
Do you have any idea how much land do you need to make a living with cattle or corn?
To earn minimum wage you need at least 4 Hectares of land of Corn, working from 5 AM to 5 PM and still will earn less than a Cashier in a Mcdonald´s.
It´s literaly easier to not work at all and earn money with Bolsa Família.
@P4to D0l4n stop telling lies
the enviroment protection at Amazonia comes as a hinderance to the locals. They want a better living standard, why should they not have it? What's a nice forest for someone with barely enough food on their plate?
No one in the world is complaining about how cheap beef/wood prices are.
uhm, meat and wood have gone up... I mean, wood looks down now, but it is right about where it was before the craziness of this year.
BURN IT DOWN!!!! BURN IT ALL DOWN!
Ikr , let's finish what we started in 2019 with the fires but this time douse it in gasoline first, then light the fires
Shouldn't the world pay Brazil to not cut down the rainforest if thats one way to stop the destruction. It seems like it's what Bosanaro suggests he would accept and if the cost was spread among nations it should be manageable. It's in all countries interests to work something out before it's too late.
But do they do so? No. They want all the money to themselves. We’re all doomed man.. even though I want to do something about it, even though I want global warming to end, there’s nothing we can do. Not only that but soon there’ll be 10 billion of us... soon we won’t be able to grow crops due to the climate getting hotter.. and without that they’ll be a lack of food and maybe even worse, war. I want things to change for the better. The future generations will wake up to a worse world. The best thing we can do is maybe vote, lend out a helping hand and just hope for the best. But I doubt it’s gonna get better if people don’t care anyways.

Yes, that's the problem with most of these "documentaries" full of left bias, when relying on someone from far left this is very common. UA-cam is full of far left supporters ironically calling everyone from right wing racists, fascists and so on whilst on the other hand supporting far left dictators.
Ya, but if it was America, we would have cut it all down too. The only reason we haven't is teddy. The rainforest IS theirs to develop and if you want to stop them from doing that then you need to make the forest unprofitable.
Why don't we pay Brazil to stop this like he says???
True!
The richest/biggest nations should have come together along time ago to build a Fund and buy all or most the Rainforests in SA with a hundreds of billions of USD or set up a fund and pay tens of billions every year to Brazil or invest the money themselfs into critical parts of Brazil like Education and key industries so they don't depend so much on farming.
Brazil has currently around 100% Debt of GDP, i'm sure they would immediately sell all the Rain Forest on their territory for buying/clearing all their debt, which would amount to 1.5 Trillion USD.
For example the GDP of the USA, EU, China, Japan, UK, India, Canada, South Korea, Switzerland, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico are over 75 Trillion USD, so if every one of them put aside 2% of their GDP for 1 Year it would amount to 1.5 Trillion USD, they could also set aside just 0.1% or 0.5% for example and not buy it immediately but step by step. So many options to fix this problem.

So many lies I cannot even begin.
Almost all of Brazilian Coffee (Over 95%) is produced in Minas gerais, Espirito Santo, São Paulo, Bahia and Paraná very very far from the Amazon (The Closest is almost 2000 miles from it).
Almost all of Soybeans production in Brazil come from Goiás, Paraná and Mato Grosso, theres almost no production in the Amazon region because the soil is so poor.
Cacao is almost exclusive from Bahia (Over 55% of the entire production, Bahia is 2000 miles always from the Amazon Rainforest) and Pará.
Almost the entire Amazon rainforest is a national park, you cannot claim public land in Brazil, but since the area is huge (The Amazon Rain forest only in Brazil is almost half o the entire Continental US size), is impossible to the government to protect and preserve all of this.
40.000 hectares is a big farm. But is 0,01% of the Amazon Rainforest.
Just to put some perspective in the last year over 4.000.000 acres burned in California, in the same year 5.400.000 acres burned in the Amazon.
The Amazon rainforest only in Brazil is 8 times bigger than the entire California State.

If you can't see this for what it is, the Elites trying to destroy the middle class and flatten out the middle class and the lower classes, then I'm sorry you can't get past the propaganda and the brainwashing, Brazil has the right to its own lands, to develop them as we see fit, we have the harshest enviromental protections in the world, if you have a farm you need to allocate all its native forested area as a protected area, you can't cut one tree, show me one country that has laws to protect the nature even close to that, Europe, the US, Asia, Oceania, they can cut as they wish and nobody bats an eye but Brazil can't explore its natural resources, we have to save it for Kissinger's NSSM 200. We have to save it for the US or China to devour everything so they can leave some scraps.
@@DaniboyBR2 dumb dumb the Brazilian rainforest is the Earths lungs, you can't relate the Brazilian rainforest to any ferial forest or other forest in the world.
@@demarcusmac2813 I wish these forest didn't exist. They're just a bunch of obstacles keeping countries from being rich as Japan or Singapore.
@@demarcusmac2813 When the world denied investments to brazil and prioritized china, the destiny of the forest was launched. The sooner this forest ends the better, the world will stop bothering us.
The tipping point happened back in 1998 when the Americas began to grow dramatically hot and will continue to become more so every year; degree by degree. Brazil, as the Columbia, will experience violent forest fire tornadoes.
So, this is exactly what happened in US century and a half ago when American settlers pushed to the West, cultivating and claiming the right to a new land. Almost no difference at all.
Rainforests are more important. You can’t rebuild a rainforest.
@@uhohhotdog bro they don't care. They'll keep saying it's better to destroy the rainforest for money vs keeping it around to sustain life period.
They have to make a living, we all do. The Earth just pays the price, then we will.
This has to stop. Or we all die. Use the world's military to stop the Forrest destruction
I have always found it problematic when other foreign nations tell another nation what to do. Great documentary on climate change though !!!
Yes it's incorrect for developed nations to force developing nations about less industrialization and *climate change* when over the period of 200 years of industrialization those developed nations already did 80 points of pollution out of 100 and expecting poor developing nations to cut down the 20 point of industrialization
A tragedy of our age.
Maybe just let them tear down the rainforest. Once they run out of land then they'll stop.
When I was a kid in school in the '90s they said we only had a 2 or 3 years left to stop the destruction of the Amazon rain forest. I'm glad they were off by a few years.
Wish they wouldnt hyperbolize.. Like have you been told the fable of the boy who cried wolf? ya know, the kid who gave a bunch of false alarms until there was an actual wolf but no one believed him?
They abuse fear and ppls natural want to safeguard the earth like they accuse corporations of abusing the earth directly.. Eventually, the amount of ppl needed to combat an actual climate crisis wont heed the alarm bc youve rung it so many times..
there is lots of mineral resources underneath the rainforest like oil and gas
Incredible reporting on a dyer subject that could not be anymore prevalent in tackling this Planets current state of unbalance .
Untioll you study fuirther to know that the Amazon actually sucks oxygen due to their massive fauna...
It's not impossible to profit from preserved rainforest, but it's incredibly hard. Iguaçu National Park (which is not in the Amazon rainforest, it's around the triple frontier of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay) is a prime example of a highly profitable venture which is able to reinvest the profits from ecotourism into actual conservation efforts.
However, setting up such a park took incredible political effort, money and a skilled workforce over many years, all of which are in short supply in Brazil. Meanwhile, as many as 20% of the 200 millions of Brazilians scrape a life below the poverty line with no money or education. These people might be uneducated, but they know there will always be a buyer for commodities such as hard wood and cattle. They will gladly join on the burning of rainforest if it allows them to put food and the table, and it will take many well trained and funded park rangers to keep them away.
Like the reporters said, the rainforest is not being burned by cackling villains who destroy for fun. It is being done because there is money in it, and it will take money to stop it.
Human race greed has no limit
if only they have rainforest in america and not in brazil
"To produce, to plant, to harvest." Not to replenish the soil?
MY QUESTION IS !!!
WHY PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE OF BRAZIL THAT NEVER LIVED HERE ARE SO INTERESTED IN A LAND THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM OR TO THE WORLD FOR THAT MATTER AND NOW THEY ARE SO INTERESTED IN THIS PLACE?
DON'T TELL IS BECAUSE THEY WANNA SAVE THE LAND OF THE AMAZON FOR THE WORLD BECAUSE THAT IS A LIE ! THE AMAZON DOES NOT PRODUCE THE OXYGEN OF THE WORLD !! THE OCEAN AND THE ALGEA DO THAT JOB ! SO THE ONLY THING IS THEY ARE INTERESTED IN THE LAND AS MUCH AS THE PEOPLE THEY ACCUSED TO BE GETING THE LAND TO FARM !
THE POINT IS WHY PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE THINK THEY CAN COME HERE IN BRAZIL AND TELL US WHAT TO DO WITH THAT BUNCH OF LIES AND NARRATIVES !!
these are first generation farmers that are poor, that have no formal education on land management, while Africa is now getting proper education on how to manage land and breathe life back into it, sadly it's too late for the rainforests in much of Africa, it has for the most part been turned into a savana because of mass deforestation.
The same is happening in Indonesia, they find resources or population moves out there because the rich push them out and they are forced to make money illegally to get by.
Then Australia will be next, it will be the easiest, all you will need to do is buy an exploration licence, find some mineral, stake a claim on that mineral and then petition to have that mineral excavated "carefully" with an open pit, usually the open pit will be larger than what you first quoted because you are following the seam, but because your production is going up and up and finding new seams plus bringing in great profits for the governments the local state government and the federal governments just sign it off as "a tragedy that can't be avoided"
You can say that I'm horrible for saying these things but it's the "corrupt" governments that do it first because of the tight restrictions that the modernized countries put on them due to demand and pressures to produce or be exploited again... yes again. then once those supplies run out the governments of the "doing OK" countries are pushing the poor people into the forests because of the rich as I explained before and the developed world just stops caring because "what's another 3 percent when 90 is already gone?"
We need to start saying no... no to hardwoords unless not only proper compensation is given to workers but also reforestation plan is set up, if you claim the land and start making money off the land, you need to put down $10,000,000 bond and reforest the area with species that has been eliminated, only thin out trees in certain areas, but parts that are designated as preserves must be kept as preserves.... there needs to be penalties to countries that cheat the system, if they designate an area that is a preserve and they cannot control the population from exploiting that reserve then they are to have all benefits to that reserve removed until the reserve hectare amount is restored, that needs to be monitored by a 3rd party orginization funded by the U.N. directly.
Please note, I'm not picking on Brazil entirely, the world is full of corruption and unfortunately, if you are hungry and you have no money to feed yourself, you would steal a loaf of bread, desperate people are breaking the laws because they either have no other option or no other options have been given/explained to them.
@@mpmmobile4937 I don't know the minds of the people you've described.
The Amazonian soil is poor in nutrients. In the surface area there is a lot of organic matter, but then there is nothing, remember it is a rain forest, all the nutrients have been washed away. Because of this, small producers cannot produce here, they need a lot of fertilizer.
This is honestly frightening. Things need to change. We must choose the future of humankind over instant gratification
Rainforest Alliance, international organization dedicated to conserving biodiversity and promoting environmentally sustainable and socially just practices in the farming and forestry industries, primarily in rainforests, in over 60 countries. 16:17
Rainforest Alliance certificate aims to improve the economic, social, and environmental conditions of the planet while helping farmers and their forest communities.

I'm more worried about the Amazon than I am about global warming. We might be able to invent better Carbon capture devices to fix global warming but we cannot create a new Amazon rainforest
also - think about all the loss of biological diversity - there are different species of insects that are found only in an area as small as 1000 sq meters and have ben there for 100's or 1000's of years.
all countries should pay trillions of dollars to Brazil for maintaining amazon forest
Depressing
Hey first world countries, why don't you demolish your cities and rebuild forests if you are so concerned.
A) Nice snarky comment there, really living up to the ideals.
B) Doing that won't make things better; rebuilding forests don't work if we do it just haphazardly (as in no careful planning and studying the environment)
@@Ace-cc1em that's the thing, bulldozing a forest for farmland WON'T rebuild the forest. They will learn that eventually.
These subjects need to be exploded onto the public consciousness.

Tipping point’ incredible.
The world is destined to be doomed
Don't worry. We'll be long gone by that time.

Also Humans: let's destroy it lul
What can people do aside from being more diligent consumers?
Ban wooden floors. Simple as
There are Rainforests in Oregon, and no one cares about the Logging there. Always pointing fingers outwardly.
What is with the loud tribal music that starts at like 5 minutes. Feels like I’m watching some terrible video at a museum.
It seems that the driving force here is money-not entirely out of greed but initially out of need. Given that fact, there needs to be a mechanism to make money that is in harmony with the land. Is there any exploration around ecotourism? I would imagine the longterm profit potential of a sustainable tourism industry would be far greater than the extractive nature of big ranching and big farming.
We the consumers are the villains.
Sort of.. if you think about it, we are domesticated by corporations.. bc could you support yourself without any of the amenities of civilization? Ive been looking at how to do that for a yr and this is harder to get started than simply taking the option of being a cog of society..
Here's to making scenario SSP5-8.5 a reality 🙌
It’s a biggest lie ever! 👎
America is not a country, but a continent.
Time to identify the commodities, producers etc
I do believe that if we want brazil to stop this deep forestation of the amazon, we need to pay. Because living in the US, we are doing the same to our land and people, we are better than they are. Brazile wants to grown, and the world doesn't want to have another country with the power to compete with or have to pay more money for their goods.
Farming vs rain forest
NO!
They made this rancher out to be a terrible guy, but they said he's been replanting the land
History seems to always repeats itself. Land grabs/grants always hurt in someway. Killed or relocated the native people or industrialization did harm to the environment. Whether the initial motive was religious or just greed. It will continue.
This is the most depressing outcome. Poor earth. Poor Amazon. Poor humanity. Why isn't it possible for the billionaires to back trusts for conservation? Why isn't that an real option?

We are finished!
9:00 ... not an unreasonable idea ... the question is; how would those that pay the cost of preserving the rainforest insure they're getting their money's worth?
I live in Bangladesh the most densely populated nation on earth . But we don't think land is needed to prosper cause Bahrain and Singapore is rich .
isn't it funny how we always elect the corrupt? maybe something just isn't working out in a system fueled by money.
THE LEFT IS NO MORE IN CHARGE IN BRAZIL NOW WE HAVE A HONEST PRESIDENT. 30+ YEARS OF CORRUPTION FROM THE LEFT SOCIALIST COMUNIST PARTIES. NOW BRAZIL IS DOING BETTER.
North American farmers already did this in the 100 ago.
If this keeps up we may look like Mars. :-(
why is this saying hardwoods and beef americans are using is coming in mass from barazil, who ever made this really needs to do some kind of research
If you want to find out what can destroy a world just ask a human.
We're past the tipping point.
Where are your sources? Pls quit the defeatist sentiments.. These comments will only generate a f*ck it all mentality and then we'll definitely be f*cked..
this year the country suffered from one of its worse droughts, the price of eletricity is very expensive because most of the energy comes from hydro.
US can help! Ridiculous
BTW, the forest grows back rather quickly. Abandon the land a couple of years and the forest will claim the land back.
We are well beyond that my friend. At least 2 decades too late

Interesting idea
It's not the world. It's China. Develop a plan based on the Conservation Reserve Program in use in the USA since the Reagan administration.
So why not purchase the land in Trust for conservation?
So much hypocracy. 🤮
So Sahara cycles between wet and dry peroids every 12 thousand years. Can a climatologist tell me why?
why don't they just plant stuff in the deserts and make those into rainforest?
You do realize that in order for a forest to thrive it needs water, right? If there is not enough rain, you need irrigation, and that brings another problem with it, namely, that desert soils may be saline, and the irrigation must be constant to flush out the salt, otherwise, matters are worse than before. There are only a limited number of plants that even survive in salty conditions, and most of them are not edible.
Not to mention that deserts have ecosystems in of themselves.
@@Ace-cc1em just bring water there?
@@Ace-cc1em if forest can become a desert why can't desrt become forest?
....Climate?
Humans cause forests to be deserts.. Nature, bc of regional climate, cause deserts to be deserts..
Any form of development comes with some environmental cost. Many of these developments and industrialization of developed nations was what cause the climate change problem in the first place. Look at the CO2 emission rate before the pre-industrialization period.
